Hello July and hello summer of activity!
I think you'll see in this issue of the newsletter that things are heating up for the summer with our local tech companies. From big acquisitions (
Boost Mobile
,
Flatiron School
, and more) to some major fundings, including
Anduril
. What's fantastic about Anduril is Palmer Luckey returning to the OC to do company number two. This brings more capital, experienced talent, and leans into our aerospace roots. Excited to see success breed more success locally.
In this issue, we have also compiled all the
fundings
and
acquisitions
of the quarter in their respective sections as blog posts. Give it a read and send us your feedback as well as any other news we can help promote to get the word out about OC tech.
Cheers,
Neal
