Connect was created 23 years ago to bring together people knowledgeable about business and investment capital with researchers at the universities and research institutes in San Diego.
“Bill Otterson created the culture here, telling scientists and research people to share ideas and then compete in the marketplace”

Building community is not a new idea. It's the communities that provide the ongoing innovation.
