Santa Cruz New Tech April 2023

We are taking it to the next level at our monthly New Tech on April 5.

We’ll kick off the event by announcing our new $10M Santa Cruz Venture Fund for startups. And the opening of our Accelerator Cohort #5.

Next, presentations by MBEP and New Way Homes on housing in Santa Cruz County: progress, ongoing housing projects, the cost of affordable housing for teachers and startups, as well as the challenges facing the community.

And 5 exciting new startups will present their exciting innovations, jobs, etc.
