San Diego LegalTech / Blockchain / FinTech Startup Night

Do you have a Blockchain, Legal Tech or Financial Tech idea you'd like to pursue or a problem you'd like to solve but don't know where to start or who to start with? Come meet other startup founders, developers, and coaches for dinner, networking, and 1-on-1 mentoring. You leave the evening with new skills, mentors, and a supportive community.

We’ll start the evening with a talk from Vinny Lingham, Co-founder and CEO of Civic. Prior to Civic, Vinny’s startup Gyft was acquired by First Data Corp. for $50M. After some Q&A with Vinny we’ll help you get matched with coaches based on information you provide when you register. Finally, we’ll talk about some exciting future events.

No, this isn’t a full 3-day Startup Weekend, but we hope this evening can help jump-start your startup idea.
