Is AI worth it for a small business in San Diego, California?

Whether you're fundraising, scaling sales, or managing rapid growth, the workflows you learn directly increase how fast you move. Founders report they accelerate and make better decisions in the month after the seminar.
Your team implements ideas immediately. The return on the evening comes through faster cycles, better customer communication, and tighter team alignment.
A practical AI seminar built for San Diego businesses
San Diego's biotech cluster ranks among the world's largest. Companies across therapeutics, diagnostics, devices, and research operate here. That creates an ecosystem of founders and operators who understand complex scaling challenges and regulatory complexity.
Beyond biotech, tech ventures are growing fast. Software, hardware, cloud services, and startups across multiple verticals scale rapidly. That brings together founders competing for talent, capital, and customers.
The Navy and cross-border trade with Mexico add distinctive dimensions. That creates entrepreneurs and operators in defense contracting, logistics, and international trade. Tourism and hospitality support another large ecosystem of service and experience builders.

A live seminar vs. free videos vs. an online course
| This live seminar | Free online videos | Self-paced AI course | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Format | Live, in-person, evening event. Direct access to Mike, peer network of founders, immediate Q and A. | Scattered tutorials, rarely targeted to biotech, tech founders, or San Diego-specific challenges. | Self-paced modules often feel generic. Founder-specific content is rare and community is sparse. |
| Founder relevance | Mike speaks directly to builders and founders. Workflows cover operations, team scaling, and innovation cycles. | Most content skews toward marketing and e-commerce, not biotech, tech development, or research ventures. | Generic business training that doesn't address challenges specific to innovation-driven sectors. |
| Speed to integration | Leave with a clear plan for your venture. Founders implement within days and report measurable changes in speed. | Slow. Extracting relevance to your venture takes weeks. | Weeks to completion. Founders outpace typical online course timelines. |
| Professional network | Room full of founders, operators, and leaders in San Diego's innovation sectors. Relationships and peer learning happen. | No community or founder network. Solo learning with no connection to peers. | Online community exists but is sparse and doesn't connect you to other San Diego founders or operators. |
| Return on investment | Single evening, single price, return comes back through compressed timelines and team clarity. | Free but time to extract and apply is substantial and return is uncertain. | Monthly fees for modules that may not fit your venture's stage, sector, or growth speed. |
What is San Diego, CA actually like?
Biotech defines San Diego's identity. Some of the world's largest life sciences companies and countless startups operate here. The concentration of talent, capital, and companies creates a culture where science-based entrepreneurship is the norm.
Tech is younger but scaling fast. Founders in software, hardware, and digital services are building billion-dollar companies here. Competition for talent and capital is intense, and the bar for ambition is high.
Geography creates opportunity. Navy proximity, cross-border Mexican relationships, and global trade make San Diego a hub for aerospace, defense, and logistics entrepreneurship. Tourism and hospitality support another significant ecosystem of experience-focused businesses.
How San Diego businesses are using AI right now
Biotech founders use AI to synthesize research literature and connect findings to their work. They use it to draft investor communication and pitch materials. Regulatory teams use it to summarize documentation requirements and flag areas needing expert review. Operations and HR teams use it to draft standard operating procedures and onboarding materials. Founders report spending more time on strategy and science, less on communication and administrative work.
Tech founders use AI to accelerate customer discovery and competitive research. Marketing teams use it to generate content angles and draft messaging. Sales teams use it to track competitor positioning and anticipate customer concerns. Operations teams use it to synthesize feedback from all departments and identify patterns. Scaling companies report they maintain clarity and alignment even as headcount grows.
Headlined by Mike Filsaime
The San Diego session is taught by Mike Filsaime, who spent 25 years building digital businesses before he started teaching AI. He built Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar, which means the workflows in this room come from someone who had to make them work in his own companies first.
He is a pioneer in AI and online business, and his reputation rests on plain English. No jargon, no theory for its own sake, no assumption that you already know what a model or a prompt is. If you can describe the job you want done, you can follow what he shows you.
In San Diego he works through the moves in front of the room, live, with time for questions from the people actually sitting there. You see the workflow built rather than described, which is the part that does not survive a recording.
People who have seen this in action
I'm a tougher critic, but Winning With AI blew me away. One idea showed me how to save thousands of dollars a month.
I had no coding experience. No technical background. Nothing. After seeing how to use AI in plain English, I built software and workflows that completely changed my company.
My project lead was wearing too many hats, and the team felt it. This one event showed us how AI could take that work off people's plates. The impact on our sanity has been massive.
Thank you for your incredible knowledge and insight. It made a powerful impact. I don't take anyone's time lightly, least of all someone with your level of marketing genius.
