THE PARTY Riviera magazine teamed up with Connect for the most gourmet tech mixer to date, held at the mod Johnson & Johnson labs. THE PLAYERS Fabric foodie empire Enlightened Hospitality Group joined forces with Campine Catering for the delectable evening. Gingham dished out peppers stuffed with pulled pork and a (popcorn!) margarita, while Gabardine served up a serious sea urchin shooter. THE SCENE Scores of startups flocked to the La Jolla campus for the mixer. Connect has been kick-starting entrepreneurs since 1984 (back when Kickstarter was nary a glimmer in the eye), developing more than 3,000 companies—and counting. Photography by Timothy King
