The Central Florida ecosystem

Who we’ve worked alongside

None of this happened in isolation. Over ten years we have collaborated, co-hosted, shared rooms and swapped audiences with organizations right across Central Florida — coworking spaces and innovation hubs, chambers of commerce, universities, recruiting firms, community groups, sports teams, museums and festivals, small businesses, and some of the largest employers in the region. Some of them no longer exist. The work still counts.
