Elevating the Jacksonville Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Founders don’t fail from a lack of ideas.
They fail from a lack of confidence, clarity, and belief.
Jacksonville has the talent, creativity, and momentum to become a globally recognized startup city.

"Your consulting style helped me get more comfortable with presenting/pitching in front of people; public speaking. Secondly, your coaching helped my team and I fully understand our project on the level that was required for us to be successful at Catalyst."
David T.
Won Judges’ Choice Award, the highest award honored, at the University of Florida.
Won $1,250.00 at the Innovation Academy Catalyst.
"We worked on the speed of the pitch, tying down the main points of how to answer financial questions concisely, and you gave us some exercises that would help us be able to cover for any members of the team that might need to take a break or possibly be absent for a moment. You made us much more confident on our pitch and we also knew what exercises we had to do to refine the information we already had into a marketable format. We had a better grasp of what we had left to do to have a well-rounded pitch.You were very supportive and curious about our product in a genuine way, while also being quite straightforward with us about where we needed to improve. You guided instead of corrected and offered alternatives and solutions whenever we didn't have an answer to something. And we won the accelerator pitch competition securing funding!!"
