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”

Great story about putting together people who might not easily share ideas.

"A community effort to ally scientists and financiers".

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