Jeremy,

As someone who grew up professionally in Silicon Valley in the early 70′s and watched the miracle of capitalism and entrepreneurship that it spawned what’s happening now in Santa Cruz is really exciting and reminiscent. Indeed, I’d claim that today Santa Cruz is in many ways much friendlier and better suited for startups than the valley. Not only do we have the bright young minds and potential entrepreneurs that the University is graduating and the intellectual property it’s developing but we have a growing and increasingly sophisticated business communities and guys like yourself, and your cohorts, ready and willing to promote them. Moreover, the physical scale and social networks here in town make getting the right people together in the same place, like NextSpace, easier. Keep up the good work. Matt

Great summary, Jeremy. This old-media guy just might print out your post if only to let others my age see it next time they wonder what this “Nextspace” thing is all about. Of course, I’d never think of appropriating any of it for my Good Times column. Nah!

@Andrew : great suggestion.

I passed this on to an editor there that I know well, suggesting there is at least an article if not more waiting to be distilled from this post. He said that no one would take that on as there are barely enough writers to cover the valley, but that the Merc often picks up Sentinel stories.

The tech, indy, and entrepreneurial community renaissance in Santa Cruz is contagious. When I move back to CA I’m getting set up there. The more stuff like this I read the more I love it.

Great rundown – I think we have to look at this as a beginning. There’s so much more for us to do and more startups that need to be created. By the way, I think we should add Chime Interactive – John Luini. As he is building some of the biggest band sites in the world right here in Santa Cruz.

Hey Sol, good call. I’ve added Chime Interactive and Virtual Venues!

Sweet executive summary of the history of SC Tech Scene. Seems like NS is always a contributing entity in some way.
Honored to be part of it all.

So who needs SV anyway, right?

Erik hits it on the head when he mentions that all this awesomeness is occurring while the nation is in the midst of a total meltdown. Conclusion?
