Hi SF IRL! 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 #119. Wishing you a happy holidays & Merry Christmas!

I'm Jonathan, the creator of SF IRL. I've been a Bay Area resident all my life and moved into San Francisco about 3 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. We are a growing community having over 8000+ subscribers. As we keep growing, if you enjoy reading these, please share this with your friends so we can hit 10,000 readers. As always, SF IRL is one of my many side projects. If you like to be involved in helping, please shoot me an email!

What: ​​Wearable Night - where wild wearable ideas, lifestyle, and immersive content intersect

​Listen up, Frisco. Wearable Night is not your average run-of-the-mill tech mixer. It’s the first of its kind. We explore the whole enchilada — ideas connecting wearables, lifestyle, art, and new modalities of creativity.

​We’re betting big: the next wave in computing isn’t on your desk or in your pocket—it’s wearable. So whether you’ve got a prototype held together with hope and a glue gun or an idea that’s barely off the napkin, this is your stage.

​Bring your scrappy builds. Bring your wild ideas. Bring your curiosity.
