After interviewing enough tech startups in San Diego, a pattern has emerged around the male founder archetype. He is usually the graduate of a prestigious university, a confident and charismatic speaker and a devoted networker.
Jeremy Yamaguchi, the founder of fast-growing tech startup Lawn Love, is an exception. Self-educated and a bit of a loner, the nervous but brilliant entrepreneur has built a software company that grew to employ 100 people after only four years in existence. His startup has growth statistics (shared privately) that put it in league with the fastest-growing tech companies in the city.
