What it takes to lead and build in San Francisco

At sf.citi, we’re focused on how the tech sector engages in San Francisco. Not just building products, but contributing to the systems and communities that make the city work.

Here are two upcoming events to get an insider’s look at what it takes to lead and build in San Francisco:

May 1: Hometown Builders: Daniela Amodei and Larry Baer on Leading in San Francisco

For those working across tech, policy, and civic partnerships, this is a useful conversation on leadership, accountability, and building in San Francisco today. The Commonwealth Club of California is hosting a conversation with Daniela Amodei, Co-Founder and President of Anthropic, and Larry Baer, President and CEO of the San Francisco Giants.

Daniela is helping define the trajectory of responsible AI at a critical moment. Larry has long demonstrated what sustained, place-based leadership looks like in San Francisco. Different sectors, shared commitment to the city’s long-term success.

 Recap: sf.citi Port of San Francisco Tour

sf.citi members joined the Port of San Francisco for a behind-the-scenes look at Fisherman’s Wharf Forward, a major public investment reshaping one of the city’s most iconic destinations and a key driver of downtown economic recovery.

Special thanks to SF Port Acting Executive Director Michael Martin and team for hosting the walking tour and project briefing of the Inner Lagoon and surrounding waterfront, highlighting how public infrastructure, tourism, and the working waterfront intersect.

Fisherman’s Wharf is more than a tourist destination; it’s a core economic engine. Many structures in the Inner Lagoon area are outdated and require major upgrades to support modern uses. But fishing isn’t going away. Plans include reconfiguring spaces to better support the commercial fishing fleet while improving public access. The Fisherman’s Wharf Forward project advances Mayor Lurie’s work to support San Francisco’s recovery.
