INTRO

Hello YoungTech!

We hope you're doing fantastic.

We kicked off June by welcoming Sanjay Parthasarathy—CEO, serial founder, and co-owner of the Seattle Orcas—for our “From Big Tech to Startup” fireside chat. Sanjay walked us through his journey from launching Microsoft’s Business Accelerator, to founding Indix, getting acquired by Avalara, and now backing the next wave of cricket in the U.S.

Later in the month, we brought the community together again for a fun, tight-knit Coffee Meetup at KEXP, where members were able to share their ideas and projects in a low-stress setting.

We’re also excited to share that YoungTech is growing! We’ve officially brought on two new associates:

• Matthew Chiu, leading Business Ops + Communications

• Eleanor Knight, driving Brand + Content Strategy

Huge thanks to Sanjay, our sponsors Fenwick & West and Stifel Bank, and our incredible partners at Startup Hall, CoMotion at UW, Ashlee Esteban-Akimoto, and Caroline Hansen for helping bring these moments to life.

If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to our Luma and follow us on LinkedIn to stay looped in.
