At dinner parties in San Diego's high-tech neighbourhoods no one needs to ask what you do for a living ― they'll have heard already on the grapevine― but everyone will want to know how you met your first venture capitalist. For San Diego is a high-tech networker's paradise. Surrounded by the neighbourhoods of La Jolla, Torrey Pines, Del Mar and Sorrento Valley, the city's Golden Triangle is home to much of the region's high-tech industry and its support services.

In any week, an industrious entrepreneur can easily attend two or three networking events.
