The Californer/10353557

SAN DIEGO - Californer -- Connect, the nonprofit organization supporting San Diego's innovation ecosystem for more than 40 years, today announced expanded access to its press release platform, providing founders, venture firms and innovation organizations with a trusted channel to amplify company milestones and ecosystem news.

Connect works with organizations to develop and publish announcements covering funding rounds, company launches, leadership appointments, awards, partnerships, program milestones and other meaningful developments. Releases are published through Connect's established platform and shared with an audience that includes founders, investors, industry leaders, universities, service providers and community partners.

"San Diego has no shortage of important innovation stories, but those stories do not always receive the visibility they deserve," said James Zanewicz, CEO of Connect. "Connect can help organizations communicate their progress clearly and place that news in front of a community that understands why it matters."

For four decades, Connect has helped build relationships across San Diego's life sciences, technology, defense and emerging innovation sectors. That history gives Connect a distinct understanding of the region's companies, capital networks and entrepreneurial community, along with the credibility to help elevate announcements within a broader ecosystem context.

The press release platform is available to founders and companies at different stages of growth, as well as venture firms, investors, accelerators, universities and other organizations contributing to the innovation economy. Connect can help shape submitted information into a clear, professional announcement aligned with established press release and Associated Press style standards.

Each release also contributes to a more complete record of the companies, investments and people moving San Diego's innovation economy forward.

"Amplification is an important form of founder support," Zanewicz said. "When companies and organizations share their progress, they create new opportunities for investment, partnerships, talent and community engagement. Our platform helps those stories travel further."
