I didn’t know ShieldAi and Drata are unicorns. Oops. Interesting . I know a couple old colleagues from Carlsbad tech community went to both when they were still in their Series A, some ex-GoPro folks too.
Seismic is also on that list. They’ve been around for some time. I think one of my old neighbors was a founding member ….I forget what they do.
ClickUp was one of the Bay Area startup that moved here to SD.
I think also Kandji is close on this list. They got their Series C round of investment back in November. $100m or something like that. Mac OSX MDM player.
It will be interesting to see if Apple buys them or squeezes them out. I think the latter since Apple does that to small companies.

Yep, Drata is blowing up quick! Their ARR growth is phenomenal. Between them and ClickUp, I think they’ll be big for the San Diego scene. Not to mention Apple, Amazon, and Google are all hiring here with the first 2 is dramatically hiring. I know Amazon is trying to poach from Intuit and Apple from QCOM. Will be fun to watch from the sideline as they push up the SD’s salary band.
