Santa Cruz Works New Tech April 1, 2026 Recordings
You don't want to miss the April 1st Santa Cruz Works New Tech recordings.
This month's lineup was genuinely one for the books. In a single evening, the room heard from a security company resolving crimes in under a minute, an AI platform that reads the invisible hesitations holding your website visitors back, and a home-based therapy system giving people with Parkinson's a fighting chance at consistency. That's just the first half.
The second half went even deeper: a Santa Cruz biotech lab automating the painstaking work of organoid research to speed up drug discovery, a startup building a needle-free brain-computer interface using nanoparticles and a wearable headset, and a UCSC researcher fresh off Grad Slam asking why you can still hum a song from childhood even when other memories have long since faded.
Six presentations. Six teams working on problems that actually matter. Whether you're a founder, investor, researcher, or just someone who loves seeing what's being built in your backyard, these talks are worth an hour of your time.
