Sponsored by the Gulf Coast Venture Forum (GCVF), the October Techbyte Luncheon presentation will include insight into the investment landscape in Southwest Florida; and an overview of both GCVF, the Tamiami Angel Fund (TAFI) and the markets they serve.
SWFL is unique in that not only do we have an angel investment network in the GCVF, but also an early stage funding entity in the TAFI.
The purpose of the Gulf Coast Venture Forum is to promote the success of Southwest Florida’s new and emerging businesses by bringing together the best entrepreneurs, early stage venture capital firms and Angel Investors. Members of the GCVF meet monthly to hear about local investment opportunities, and they also offer informative educational programs presented by seasoned, recognized professionals and business people, providing a place for the sharing and exchange of business and technical experience.
Learning Objectives - By the end of the session, participants will be able to/will know:
1. An overview of the investment landscape in SWFL and statewide.
2. Who is the Gulf Coast Venture Forum and the Tamiami Angel Fund and who do we serve?
3. Why should you care?
