RSVP now for tomorrow's showcase event featuring the eight B2B startups from current accelerator plus a fireside chat moderated by Cathie Wood of ARK Invest. #TampaBay #startups eventbrite.com/e/tampa-bay-i…?

For #B2B #startups, product validation is vital, but if you tell me that your 1st install is going to be a company whose legal department has its own softball team, Yikes! 🙄

Building a tech startup in Tampa, St. Pete, or the surrounding area? At the new Tampa Bay Innovation Center, you can collaborate with other founders, get introduced to experienced mentors, and build the skills you need to launch a scalable tech #startup. tbinnovates.com/ark-innovati…

I run two cohorts a year, almost entirely bootstrapped startups. Current one is for founders working on climate tech.

This summer's personal development goal is to work on improving what I call my "Resting Pitch Face," honing my ability to not react while someone drones on about technology without even once referring to a user or the problem being solved. Please vote for your favorite RPF.

Thanks to the Tampa Bay Inventors Council for inviting me to talk about @tbinnovates new building. The follow-up Q&A inspired a lively discussion on the value of customer discovery interviews and finding idea validation through product-market fit. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

This was a fun panel to moderate; we just barely scratched the surface of this topic, so stay tuned for follow-up discussions on NFTs and the impact of Web3 on your business. #NFTs #Web3 #Metaverse

The Audacity! Always amused by the first-time founders that bristle at the thought of having to execute rather than outsource.

Many thanks to @diana_h at @USFMuma for inviting me to chat with her ent. strategy class last night. It's not often I get to step into the Wayback machine and talk about mouse traps, Microsoft Tiger, and Napster all in one day. #startups #innovation #entrepreneurship #tampabay

I was afraid this might happen. But, at the same time, I am beyond proud to see these two @tbinnovates #accelerator alumni go head-to-head in the @TampaBayInno showdown. I recuse myself but urge you to vote for either @BlockSpaces_io or @chooseparagon. bizjournals.com/tampabay/inn…
