Accelerator: Ready to dig into South Texas' tech, startup X-factor FacebookTwitterEmail New year. New president. New perspective. New SA Inc. column! Welcome to Accelerator, a weekly riff on San Antonio’s vibrant tech and startup scene. We’re excited to push the throttle up on this project, which will soar into stories about the people, companies, institutions, politics, money and trends behind the news. When I joined the Express-News last summer, the bosses assigned me to the business desk and Business Editor Greg Jefferson gave me the tech and economy beat. I warned him that I didn’t have a wealth of tech or economics knowledge and was a terrible math and engineering student. Plus, I don’t have a STEM or business degree, and I came to journalism late — after a 24-year Air Force career.
