Why Jeremy Neuner?
1. Jeremy is one of the co-founders of Nextspace (see http://nextspace.us) a fantabulous co-working space in downtown Santa Cruz that is one year old as of mid-October 2009.
2. Jeremy is a light hearted but incredibly effective leader of the Nextspace organization. The community respects him.
3. Nextspace is not only vital to the Santa Cruz community, it’s a great place — interesting and fun, feels like the entrepreneurial epicenter of Santa Cruz — for an entrepreneur, or solopreneur, or techie — or anybody else — to work.
4. Jeremy frequently credits the members of Nextspace for its success, rather than claiming that success for himself. However, much of the environment of Nextspace is due to Jeremy’s style of leadership. He’s been the right guy at the right time.
5. Many local success stories have come out of NextSpace:
