Hi SF IRL! Happy April! There's a ton of vibrance and energy coming back into the city and at SF IRL, we are excited to be a part of it. Excited to come with you all with some great events for Issue #36 of SF IRL.
I'm Jonathan, the creator of SF IRL. I've been a Bay Area resident all my life and just moved into San Francisco about 2 years ago. My full-time job is at Brex as an XIR where I meet founders and VCs while trying to create a community in the city. My vision for SF IRL is simple. Showcase the best tech + startup events in SF and to connect all of our builders and investors together. Thank you for helping us hit 3,000 subscribers, please share with your friends so we'll hit 4k! As always, SF IRL is one of my many side projects. If you like to be involved in helping, please shoot me an email!
