What Leaders Are Saying

Hear from entrepreneurs and executives about why our region is the perfect place to build and grow tech companies

Travis Priest
CEO - Suncoast Venture Studio

Sarasota is uniquely rich in mentors and investors, thanks to the many accomplished executives who now call it home. For founders, that means you’re often just one or two introductions away from the capital and guidance you need — without competing in the noisy environments of Miami, Atlanta, or Austin.

Erin Cigich
CEO - Perform[cb]

Sarasota’s unique blend of lifestyle and talent makes it a hidden gem for technology companies. The strong community support, coupled with the ability to attract and retain top talent, makes it an inspiring place to build and grow a business.

Vladimir Lejesovic
Managing Partner - CMPSE

Sarasota provides unmatched opportunities for entrepreneurs compared to other cities of similar size. A large pool of exited entrepreneurs and experienced Fortune 500 executives who reside here, access to smart capital for those who need it, and a healthy lifestyle that is more difficult to find in larger cities.
