This Week in San Diego Tech News - March 18, 2024

Listen & subscribe on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms. Welcome everyone to the weekly San Diego Tech News by Neal Bloom and Fred Grier from Fresh Brewed Tech. I’m Neal Bloom from Fresh Brewed Tech, the Tacos and Tech Podcast, and Interlock Capital. I’m Fred Grier, journalist and author of The Business of San Diego substack. I wrote about the tech industry for the San Diego Business Journal for two years. I covered the ins-and-outs of the startup world for much of that time, breaking news on IPOs, fundraising rounds, and M&A. Promote the show:    Before we dive in, we wanted to ask our listeners and SD Tech fans to help us grow the show, leave a review and share with one other person who should be more plugged in with the SD Tech Scene. Thank you for the support and for helping us build the San Diego Startup Community.   3/18 Headline Stories  Boundless Bio IPO AgX Hackathon Debrief SD Clippers G-League in Oceanside   Techstars Anywhere 2024 cohort announced - SD company Namara Water Tech in the cohort Techstars San Diego applications are open, due May 22   Firestorm raised $12.5m Seed Rakuten Medical raised $119M Series E Argonaut Bio Manufacturing raised $45m Looq AI raise $2.6M Seed   Events - For full list - check The Social Coyote SDSU Chinyeh Hostler Social Venture: H20 Impact Challenge March 15 Dev & Data Night & CTO Talks - March 19 SDx AI coffee meetups - every other week   This is a public episode.
