Hey OC friends!

As I’m busy putting away all my white clothes after Labor Day, I’m excited to see all the funding and M&A activity hitting. This has been such a weird year. With pauses on funding/acquisitions in March/April, then some switches turn back on and some still paused. Usually July-August is quiet with summer vacations, and now everyone is home and look at all of these deals down below like ZUUM and Cuddly. And the SPACs come to OC with Advantage Solutions going public in a reverse merger.

While we are still working to bring a full OC Startup Week (let’s go 2021!), I’d welcome you to join the virtual SD Startup Month, with bite-size amounts of content daily for everyone, from founder skills to sales and people management and thoughtful virtual networking.

Hope you can join in!

Cheers,

Neal
