Next Level: Santa Cruz Works New Tech April 5, 2023

On April 5th, we're launching our monthly New Tech event with a special focus on the housing situation in Santa Cruz. Our discussion will cover ongoing housing projects, the cost of affordable housing for teachers and startups, as well as the challenges facing the community. As always, we'll have an hour of food, drinks, networking, and live music. We'll also be announcing the opening of our Accelerator Cohort #5 and providing insider information about our new $10M Santa Cruz Venture Fund for startups. Lastly, we'll have five companies presenting:

  1. Pirta - over 30% of the heat in cities can be reduced with this revolutionary new paint.  

  2. Coreless Technologies -  manufacturing next-generation nanomaterials that make rapid tests more sensitive, enabling clearer results and earlier diagnoses.

  3. PishPosh - the first app to crowdsource urban clean-up and reward those who participate. Find opportunities, lend a hand, track your impact— because doing good hits close to home. 

  4. Nyckel - build AI into your product without hiring a Machine Learning team, and without costly infrastructure. Train your model in five minutes, integrate it in ten, and let Nyckel’s intuitive UI and API do all the heavy lifting.

  5. Here For You - if you have ever lost a child or loved one, you know grief. And you know how much help is needed to move through life's hardest moments. This platform enables people to communicate with each other, express and fulfill needs, and access support resources to help uplift and heal.

Get your seats soon. We are back at the Courtyard by Marriott. The first 100 registrants get free Valet Parking. And as always, admission includes food, live music, and immensely valuable networking.
