The Tampa Bay 6/20 initiative was named, in part, for Brad Feld’s quote (above), in part, for the six entrepreneurs who decided to take the first steps toward a 20 year plan (by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs) to build a thriving Tampa Bay entrepreneurial ecosystem, and, in part, for the plan’s release date of June 20, 2012.
The first six entrepreneurs - John Morrow (leading this charge as Tampa Bay’s Entrepreneur-In-Residence), Daniel James Scott, Bill Jackson, Marvin Scaff, Brent Britton, and Rebecca White - have between them started more than a dozen businesses, all are affiliated with local universities, and all already have assumed leadership roles in the Tampa Bay entrepreneurial community.
