"What's Missing in the SoFlo Startup Scene" | Startup Founders Peer Group

Welcome to the New Era of Startup Support in South Florida

Calling all early-stage founders, entrepreneurs, and startup dreamers — the South Florida Tech Hub Startup Founders Peer Group is back and better than ever!

Join us for a special kickoff session where we’ll reconnect, realign, and relaunch this space just for YOU. Whether you're still validating your idea or scaling your product, this peer group is a judgment-free zone where founders can talk openly about wins, losses, goals, and next steps.

What to Expect:

• Meet the New Chairs: Meet your new group leaders, Anita Patel and Garrett Kellner, who will share their backgrounds, goals, and vision for the group.
• A Look Ahead: We’ll discuss the 2025 schedule, potential guest speakers, and the kinds of support you can expect—from funding tips to founder wellness.
• Founder-Focused Format: This isn’t a webinar. It’s an interactive session designed for connection and collaboration.
• Have Your Say: What would you love to see in this group? Let’s shape the future of the program together.
