Hey friends, while it’s a couple days later, we can never say enough thanks to our mothers, especially during this pandemic, for looking out for us, including the ones on the front lines keeping so many safe. Thank you!

Meanwhile, this week on the Tacos & Tech Podcast , Alexa-Rae Navarro of Startup San Diego and Amy Chang, entrepreneur and angel investor, join me to chat about what’s been going on lately in San Diego tech, including the postponement of Startup Week. We also talk about Week 4 of the Startup Series , which is focused on building a unique value proposition and storytelling with Ryan Kuder of Techstars.

We also have another great UCSD entrepreneur spotlight in our #TritonTech blog series by Tanvi Bajaj. 

Stay safe,
