We’ve seen a ton of new jobs posted over the last week thanks to all of you. If you’re looking for a tech job, check out our job board and apply! Also let us know where you want to work by replying to this email and we’ll see if we can connect you.

We’re also gearing up to promote our partnership with Cox Edge. Do you have a unique use case for edge computing? We’d love to connect you with the Edge team to get your feedback on their local cloud services infrastructure. There’s a use case for every tech, biotech, even government agency and they are willing to give a huge first year discount for feedback of the product.

Lastly, Founders Institute San Diego recently hosted their graduation that I spoke at and they are recruiting their next cohort. If you or someone you know is working on a startup idea or have an idea but looking for a co-founder, definitely check out Founder Institute San Diego.


Cheers!
