A new reason not to commute –
Check out today’s Santa Cruz Sentinel front page article “Startup gives freelancers, entrepreneurs a chance to work in downtown Santa Cruz” about NextSpace. NextSpace is a new downtown co-working space for freelancers, entrepreneurs and home office workers to work and cross paths at the proverbial coffee pot. Place like this are one of the reasons I love Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz can also be proud of Santa Cruz Next, the relatively new local organization committed to providing a fun, hip and diverse environment to discuss issues affecting the next generation of our community.
This is great press is just in time for tomorrow’s Freelance Camp in downtown Santa Cruz.
