Digest #220

Here's the news you need to know.
It's not often that Santa Cruz Tech Beat publishes three articles about one company in one weekly digest but the news kept coming in about Joby Aviation, a growing startup in Bonny Doon. There's NASA testing, a Bloomberg article, and, oh yeah, they were just awarded $100M in Series B funding.
As usual, there's more. Scroll down and start reading the news!
(I hope to see many of you at the 10 Year Anniversary of the Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup tomorrow evening at Cocoanut Grove.)
