VENICE, FLORIDA

My Startup Suncoast is creating a startup ecosystem to support quick starts, centralize information about the location of centers, education, jobs, events, and improve information sharing within the startup communities. Our goal is to partner with other local organizations to create a visible Suncoast Startup Eco-System and provide entrepreneurs the resources and connections they need to succeed. I have global technology and consulting work experience and an MBA with a concentration in Information Management Services. After leaving IBM, my efforts have shifted to creating living wage job opportunities in my community through mentoring, technical consulting and database projects for business startups. Communities like Silicon Valley and Boston’s Route 128 have learned how to build and grow entrepreneur communities. Primarily, they leverage their experience, supportive learning cultures, and are located close to or in college towns.This coupled with their lean successful business practices and government, business and capital support resources has created a successful strategies for business startups.This makes these communities’ job engines.
