Five days that pull the whole regional ecosystem, founders, operators, angels, accelerators and university programs, into one curated run of programming across five San Diego venues. The 2026 spine: a Founders Showcase backed by J.P. Morgan, a keynote from Drata co-founder and CTO Daniel Marashlian, SBDC-powered pitch deconstruction and speed mentoring, a crossover afternoon with the Women's Venture Summit, and a Grand Pitch Stage finale. Most sessions are hosted by community organizers rather than the organisers themselves, so the programme is unusually close to what founders here actually want.
