Digest #97
This past week is what I would call a "Big News Week" in Santa Cruz Tech. Several hot local stories emerged. From Cruzio and The City forming a partnership to develop city-wide Gigabit fiber, to the $10M acquisition of Market Motive, to gaming news from UCSC, to Looker's partnership with Microsoft, to Fullpower's partnership with Serta Simmons to create a smart bed. Read these stories and more, below.
