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 #63.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving week and now, ready to get back to building this week.
I'm Jonathan, the creator of SF IRL. I've been a Bay Area resident all my life and 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 4600+ subscribers. As we keep growing, if you enjoy reading these, please share this with your friends so we can hit 5,000 readers. As always, SF IRL is one of my many side projects.
