Two established Orlando tech companies, Pandera Systems and REV Acceleration, are hoping to invest in locking down Central Florida’s tech talent with the launch of Tech and Beers, a new Orlando-based incubator and fund for tech startups. Tech.Co had a chat with REV CEO Ty Tucker on the current problem and how they hope to fix it.
Limited Funding and Space
Ty’s views on Central Florida’s tech support:
How to Fix the Problem
So how do they plan on keeping local tech talent in Orlando in order to elevate the city’s national reputation as a thriving hub of innovation? The same way most incubators plan to: Plenty of funds, office space and potential seed money. Here’s Ty again: Many of these programs only provide start-ups with limited funding and space to work, but neglect to consider the extensive level of support necessary to really get a start-up going.” Joshua Sutton, CEO of Pandera Systems, highlighted the initiative’s meetups: The next meetup happens Thursday, Feb. 23, 2017, and the details are available here. Entrepreneurs and would-be founders in Orlando should keep an eye out for Tech and Beers events: Regardless of your opinion on Central Florida’s brain drain, new incubators are always welcome and meetups are a great way to connect with your local ecosystem.
