The founders' network
at UC San Diego.
Build Nights every week, Founder Conversations with operators, capital intros around San Diego, and the students on campus who already ship. The next time we are all together is on the Founders Hike.
Every great company starts in a dorm room. The dorm rooms at UCSD should know each other.
Greatness rarely happens in isolation. It grows in the quiet hum of shared ambition and the friction of competing ideas. SEN is the room on campus where UCSD founders find each other and treat the campus itself as the forge.
Build
Practical execution over theoretical frameworks. The proof of concept matters more than the pitch deck.
Gather
A standing room of UCSD founders who show up for each other. The people two seats away should be the ones who unblock you.
Ship
The final and most crucial act. Real users on real products is the only true metric of success.
The infrastructure for impact.
Four programs the room runs on a regular cadence, designed to compound the work members do on their own products and on each other's.
Build Nights
Distraction-free working sessions every week where members ship side projects together and unblock each other in real time.
Founder Conversations
Off-the-record talks with operators and investors who answer the questions you would never ask on a public stage.
Founders Hike
The room moves outdoors a few times a year, walking Torrey Pines together so the conversation reaches the people the room normally would not.
Capital Connections
Warm intros to the angels, funds, and accelerators around San Diego for the projects in the room that show real traction.
