Is This You?
Are you an entrepreneur, startup founder, or small business owner who is experiencing problems in any of these areas?
- Generating Revenues/Raising Capital
- Hiring/Retaining Talent
- Marketing/Sales
- Customer Acquisition
- Product Development
- Growth/Scaling
- Competition
- Legal/Regulatory Issues
- Time Management
First of all, these are NOT problems that lead to failure. They are merely symptoms of the only cause of failure in a business: bad management. Specifically, a lack of good project management.
Then You're In Luck!
We are entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs!
We breathe entrepreneurship! As a for-profit organization, we’re independent of government and university funding, allowing us limitless freedom in our pursuit to help you achieve success.
We thrive on collaboration! Central Florida’s vibrant knowledge ecosystem fuels us. We wholeheartedly champion the 300+ local entrepreneurial- and business-service providers (ESOs/BSOs), aiming for a city-sized startup machine that the world will want to emulate.
Our mastery spans project management and entrepreneurship, a fusion that propels growth. With nearly 60% of our founders’ startups achieving success, we prioritize founder-driven achievements over unicorn status. A 50% shot at success generates far greater community wealth than a 1-in-8.5 million unicorn gamble. Picture “Moneyball.”
All seasoned entrepreneurs, with multiple startups and investment experience, our team empathizes with the challenges you face, while embracing an investor’s mindset. We offer this wisdom to help you efficiently reach your goals. We teach what nobody else does, which complements their teachings, empowering you to customize your approach for maximum impact.
Involved in startups? We gotchu.
What We Do & Why We Do It
Happy Hours
WHAT: The 3rd Monday of each month, we hold our Startup Happy Hour. 120+ entrepreneurs, startup founders, investors, and other supporters of our startup ecosystem attend. WHY: We bring together our ecosystem stakeholders, so they can meet each other, create opportunities, ideate and innovate, and learn about ways to become more successful.
Lunch & Learns
WHAT: We plan to hold a Lunch & Learns every other week, to teach entrepreneurs what they need to know about how to achieve the success they dream about. Held at participating locations throughout the area. WHY: Entrepreneurs fail at a ridiculous rate in part because they neither educate themselves, nor do they receive the right guidance. We'll fix that.
Workshops
WHAT: The L&Ls will whet your whistle, the real fun comes at our half-day & full-day workshops! Covering all those things nobody else is teaching, that you can immediately learn, plan, and apply - and see immediate results! WHY: Aside from luck, there is no shortcut to being successful. You have to work at it! At least, with us, we'll have you spend less work and time, and get better results!
