What is happening this week?


Wow! We Have a New Logo...

Florida business incubator new logoAs we have grown as a board, gotten involved in our community of businesses and entrepreneurs, and begun reinventing ourselves to better serve our community, we grew more confused about our current logo and what it represented (the shark fin?). Evelyn Dufner took time, after redesigning our website, and considering the many conversations we have had about the direction we are collectively taking as an organization, to present us with a series of logos on which to vote and move on. Our new logo is now being integrated into our marketing materials, representing the incubation of something coming to life, as many of our participants have grown to value in our weekly meetings and programs. As you begin to see the logo emerge in our materials, I hope you will feel you can grow with us, as we hope to support you on this journey.

Would You Please...

Complete this "Live Meetings" Survey

We are very interested in getting ourselves back on track, but we also want to ensure safety and demonstrate care considering the current situation with COVID-19. We would like your opinion about moving back to face-to-face or hybrid meetings. We miss seeing everyone and the nature of organic exchanges and dialogue in the meeting rooms we have shared with this community. Please take a moment to help us isolate our next steps by filling out this brief survey. Even if you have not been with us in a long while, we value your input about the needs of our community of small businesses and entrepreneurs.
