This Week in San Diego Tech News - Sept 16, 2024

Listen & subscribe on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms. Welcome everyone to the weekly San Diego Tech News by Neal Bloom and Fred Grier from Fresh Brewed Tech. I’m Neal Bloom from Fresh Brewed Tech, the Tacos and Tech Podcast, and Interlock Capital. I’m Fred Grier, journalist and author of The Business of San Diego substack. I wrote about the tech industry for the San Diego Business Journal for two years. I covered the ins-and-outs of the startup world for much of that time, breaking news on IPOs, fundraising rounds, and M&A. Promote the show:  Before we dive in, we wanted to ask our listeners and SD Tech fans to help us grow the show, leave a review and share with one other person who should be more plugged in with the SD Tech Scene. Thank you for the support and for helping us build the San Diego Startup Community.   9/15  Candid Therapeutics raised $370M Eli Lilly, HAYA Therapeutics announce $1B partnership Techstars San Diego Powered By San Diego State University Announces 2024 Class San Diego International Airport secures $26.3M grant from FAA TuSimple Leaving Town San Diego State to Join the Pac-12 Conference Sand Cloud Opens retail space in Pacific Beach  Platform Science acquires Trimble Inc.
