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. 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. 2/13/2024 News More multi-billion $ biotech exits Inhibrx - $2.2B Axonics in OC - $3.7B Talked Ambrx for $2B already Tyra & many other post-IPO raises   $200M for Tyra Biosciences $150M for Kura Oncology   Eggscape Entertainment - $4.25M seed Trust & Will recent raise Touchdown Ventures, Erie Ventures, Comcasts’ LIFT Labs Aptera - $33m in crowdfunding   New fund alert!
