WHAT MAKES SAN DIEGO GREAT FOR STARTUPS?

1. The community here celebrates and welcomes entrepreneurship and innovation better than anywhere.

2. San Diego is large enough to offer many resources, but small enough to allow startups access to and the opportunity to become familiar with these resources.

3. World-class universities, beaches, sports teams, and the general atmosphere attract and retain talent, and provide a great lifestyle balance outside of work.

4. San Diego is conveniently located near other startup communities, including Tijuana, Orange County, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and the Bay Area to foster communication and collaboration.
