Digest #239
  
We have the news you need to know.

PayStand has expanded its digital platform into Canada. Steve Blum weighs in on the significance of June 11 for net neutrality. Chris Miller weighs in on his team's project at TechRaising. Sue Dayton shares her experience on the same team. Forbes announces the speaker lineup for the 4th Annual AgTech Summit to be held June 26-28. The event, held in our own backyard (in Salinas), brings together agtech leaders and entrepreneurs from all over the world.

You may recall that we celebrated our 5th Anniversary at the Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup with this video interview. Since our real anniversary isn't until July -- SCNTM is skipping July so we celebrated in June -- we expect to continue celebrating for a few more weeks.
