Sponsor. Build. Champion.

Be part of the magic at Santa Cruz’s premiere tech startup event.

For one weekend, more than 100 entrepreneurs, developers, designers, marketers, and tech enthusiasts will gather in the big atrium and classroom at Cruzioworks in downtown Santa Cruz. They will pitch ideas, create teams, design projects, work like mad for 48 hours — and then show what they accomplished.
You are invited to join the fun as a sponsor — and get in on the buzz surrounding one of the coolest events in Santa Cruz.
