SF Tech Week is a reminder of what makes San Francisco different.
What does it take to build a world-class startup ecosystem?
@rodneyfong's answer starts with connection.
As President & CEO of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, he brings together founders, established businesses, policymakers, finance, technology, and the broader community - helping turn San Francisco’s density of talent into opportunity.
Through YES SF, the Chamber hosts 300+ events a year, creating a physical hub where ideas, industries, and people can collide.
Rodney’s philosophy is simple:
Put ambitious people in the same room. Make it easier to build. Give new ideas room to grow.
