Kelly Hoffer: San Francisco
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? I grew up in NJ, about an hour outside of NY. Since my grandmother lived in Brooklyn, we would drive in see her – an odyssey that meant holding your breath through parts of Staten Island, swaying dangerously on the Verrazano bridge, getting stuck in 3…
Luckybolt: San Francisco
If you work in downtown SF and you’re not lucky enough to have catered meals appear in your office, finding interesting, cheap, and quick lunch options can be a hassle. Luckybolt solves that problem with bicycles and delicious, locally-produced food (two of Connie’s favorite things). Each day, Luckybolt features two neighborhood restaurants (favorite spots from around…
Mattan Griffel: San Francisco
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? As someone working on a startup, I love San Francisco – it’s like a tech Mecca. But I ended up in NYC after graduating from New York University and getting a job at a startup in the city. The only reason I didn’t make the move…
The Target Labs: San Francisco
Political campaigns already have a lot of data. But most campaigns, especially those at the state and local level, make voter targeting decisions using educated guesses, not analytics. Thanks to all the press surrounding the Obama campaign’s big data initiatives in 2012, that’s starting to change. More and more campaign managers get it, but until…
Melissa Smolensky: San Francisco
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? I have been enchanted with San Francisco and New York my whole life. Growing up in Texas, I was obsessed with music, film and Broadway musicals and could only see myself in New York. In fact, as a child I had a NYC mural painted on…

Helena Price: New York City
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? Currently, I’m living in Brooklyn, New York. I lived in San Francisco for three years prior to Brooklyn. I was familiar with New York first, growing up in North Carolina. It was the one “big city” that all of the rebellious, creative-types moved to after college….
Betabrand: San Francisco
Perhaps best known for their “Executive Hoodie” (favored by a certain Mark Zuckerberg), the Mission-based apparel is known for their cheeky copy, almost-too-clever designs, and their startup-like pace; they allege to design and release one new item of clothing a week, all manufactured in SF city limits. Now eight years old, the collection combines practical…
Aubrey Sabala: New York City
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? I was supposed to move to NYC in 2001. Specifically: I had my last interview for a job – a proposal writer for Sotheby’s – on September 12, 2001. Needless to say, that didn’t happen, and I never ended up making the move in the wake…
Alite Designs: San Francisco
Alite is an outdoor gear company that doesn’t take itself too seriously – and that’s a good thing. Without sacrificing attention to performance materials or design (founder Tae Kim spent eight years at The North Face before founding Alite in 2008 in the same Mission District warehouse that once housed Timbuk2), Alite’s line of backpacks,…
