Here's the news you need to know.
Meet some of the minority women entrepreneurs who are playing significant roles in the traditionally male-dominated AgTech industry in the Salinas Valley & beyond. Cruzio CEO, Peggy Dolgenos, takes us through an overview of the Santa Cruz Fiber project, including what to expect when it comes to your neighborhood. The focus of the March 1 Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup is ALL LOOKER. Find out what Looker and a few of their customers plan to share with us. Angels by the Sea provides an update on recent investments as they cap their first year of operation. Researchers at the UCSC Center for Games and Playable Media have developed GameSpace, a "playable visualization of 16,000 videogames grouped according to common features and displayed in 3-dimensional space..." And, remember Futuristic Lights? They're still at it. Learn about Atom, their new product. Plus, Steve Blum, our Central Coast broadband expert, authors two articles this week: one about Monterey Bay broadband and the other about a new
