Hey New Techies,
Happy Valentine’s day! Need a last minute gift for the techie that has your heart. Check out this list of ideas.
Thanks to everyone who came out to New Tech Seattle last week! It's great to have around 125 of you coming out each month to create community, discover new tech, celebrate our local innovation and have a fun time with great people. We hope to see you at the March 9th event to kick off spring with us. :)
In case you missed it, I am excited to share a new virtual bi-weekly community meetup for ADHD and neurodiverse techies. On the first and third Tuesday of each month, join me and your peers for discussion about struggles as well as strategies to overcome challenges like anxiety, overwhelm, time blindness, communication with neurotypical folks, procrastination, and having to mask your neurodiversity at work. In our first virtual meetup on Tuesday, February 21 we will be discussing imposter syndrome. Save your spot today.
Be well and create joy,
Brett Greene

New Tech Flashback Spotlight: Rob Shearer, Alliance of Angels
|
|
|
Each week in the New Tech Newsletter we feature a Spotlight Q&A with founders, angels, New Tech alumni presenters, and other people or companies in our community we believe you’d like to learn about. Reach out if you'd like to recommend a startup, founder, angel, accelerator, or New Tech alumni presenter for us to spotlight for the PNW tech community!
In this week’s spotlight we are going back to the archives to our conversation with Rob Shearer, Investor with Alliance of Angels.
How did you get into angel investing?
As someone deep into technology there has always been a pull for me to move to Silicon Valley, but in 2017 I doubled down on my commitment to stay in the PNW. Part of that included doing everything I can to expand and endorse startups in the area. I found AoA and loved the charter to focus in this area. I joined a meeting and was wildly impressed with the calibre of investors and the exciting new startups growing in the area. From then on, I have been hooked on getting more and more involved.
What types of companies or missions inspire you to invest in them?
I originally thought I would be all-in on Tech companies, but instead I am drawn to companies where I can learn; teams I can help in some way; and founders from diverse backgrounds who I enjoy helping on their journey.
Read the full interview.
