There's a lot that goes into pulling off a week like SoCal Deep Tech Week, most of which nobody in the room ever sees.
We were glad to sponsor SCDTW 2026, and it was incredible to see what Jay Velasco and the whole team built behind the scenes. The panels, the venues, the logistics, the hundred small things that make an event actually run well, none of that happens by accident. A lot of people did their jobs so the rest of us could just show up and talk shop.
Great week. Great conversations. Great to put faces to names and meet some new ones too.
Thanks for having us, Jay, and thanks to everyone on the team who made it happen!

We had a fantastic time participating in the vibrant ecosystem at CMU Startup Week! Events like these are crucial for bridging the gap between groundbreaking academic research and real-world industry applications. We especially enjoyed a great catch-up with Steven Guo from CMU at the Lab to Market event with the CMU Schwartz Center.
We are excited to continue supporting campus innovation and can't wait to see what this community builds next!
