The most connected room in the room.

We're not trying to be the biggest network in San Diego. We're building the most connected one, where members know each other, trust each other, and build together over time.

Community is infrastructure

RTP Communities exist because the best things in startups happen between people. Not in pitch decks, but in the conversations that happen when the right founders, investors, and operators connect in the same room. Founding members are the people who shape what this becomes.

What you get in the room

Five compounding returns.

• A network that knows you — Real relationships with founders, investors, and operators who show up consistently and care about what you're building.
• Curated introductions — When a connection matters, we make it intentionally: the right people together at the right moment.
• A seat at the table early — Founding members set the culture, influence the programming, and shape the growth of the community across sectors.
• Gatherings worth your time — Weekly sector events across hardtech, AI, medtech, and consumer, structured so you meet real people and leave with something useful.
• Mentor & investor office hours — Consistent access to experienced investors and advisors who are here to be helpful, not transactional.

For people working close to disruptive technology

The common thread isn't a job title, it's that you're actively building.

Founders, investors, operators, and enterprise executives looking at what's next. If you build here, invest here, or care about what's happening in this ecosystem, you're welcome. If you're a spectator, this isn't for you.

• The common thread — Founders, investors, operators, and enterprise execs. What you do matters less than that you're in motion: shipping, funding, or scaling something real.

• By application — We keep the founding cohort intentional: admitted by application, not sign-up. Tell us what you're building, and we'll take it from there.

What's next

Events are in San Diego, but the network isn't limited to locals. Come to one, come to the whole fleet. Newcomers who are building are always welcome.
