San Diego Startup Week Edition, kick it up a notch! 6:30am hike Start your Startup Week with San Diego’s most unique tradition: the monthly Founders Hike, where early-stage founders, funders, and community builders gather for a sunrise hike, real-time connections, and a dose of inspiration. For over 2 years, this hike has grown from a small circle of founders into a monthly ritual. Along the way, we’ve added beach cleanups with local nonprofits, spin-offs like Founders Plunge, Surf, and countless serendipitous connections.
