October 6, 2021 was the launch of the 4th cohort of our accelerator: Santa Cruz Accelerates! Over 150 people attended our first outdoor event since March 2020. We were thrilled to see your shining faces and to share our exciting short film where we launched Stephen Colbert and Molly Wood to space! Our speakers included:

• Chancellor Cindy Larive / UCSC

• Manel Camps / UCSC CEID

• LeBaron Meyers / #NotMe

• Brad Barbeau / CSUMB

• Sol Lipman / (secret startup)

• John Felts / Cruz Foam

• Bonnie Lipscomb / City of SC Econ Dev

• Nikhil Sinha / OneValley

Special thanks to Brandon Napoli with SBDC who championed this 4th cohort and our videographer Aaron Huang. Learn more about how to launch your new business into orbit with the Santa Cruz Accelerates.
