Digest #112

Thank you, Cabrillo College, for becoming our newest partner! Such partnerships are the only way we can keep doing what we do for the community. Support proven and comprehensive media that matters to the economic future of Santa Cruz.

There were several big announcements this week. A new angel group is forming to support the coastal lifestyle culture with focus on technology, sports, health, agriculture, specialty food. Organizers of the new one-stop shopping Monterey Bay Internship Portal reveal their plans. The County has hired a new economic development manager to head a newly created division.

Last week we started updating you on companies that got their 15 minutes of local fame and then went quiet. This week we give you two more updates. If you missed Sand Hill RAW pitch night, read up. And, guess who joined Calliope Waterworks?

All this, and more news that you need to know! Start reading!
