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 #49
of SF IRL. Happy July! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July and ready to get the next week rolling.
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. We are a growing community having over 3700+ subscribers. As we keep growing, if you enjoy reading these, please share this with your friends so we can hit 4,000 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!
