DJ Nani Soul is on sound from 10 PM straight throug h to 2:30 AM\, and the floor stays high-energy all night. If you have been looking for lesbian and sapphic nightlife in downtown Orlando that actual ly centers you\, this is the Friday to put in your phone. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\nDJ Nani Soul from 10 PM to 2:30 AM: a resident who reads the roo m and keeps it moving\, mixing R&B\, hip-hop\, Latin\, pop and dance witho ut letting the energy dip.\nA crowd that is actually sapphic: women\, femm es\, mascs\, non-binary folks and their people. This is the whole point of the night\, not a themed hour.\n21+ with ID: doors run late\, so come whe n you like\; the floor usually fills after 11.\nFull bar: Anthem’s barte nders are quick\, and drink specials run through the night.\nDowntown loca tion: right on North Orange Avenue\, walkable from the rest of the Orlando nightlife district if you are making a night of it.\n\n\nAbout Sapphic Fr idays\nSapphic Fridays grew out of a simple gap in the Orlando scene: plen ty of LGBTQ+ nightlife\, not nearly enough of it aimed squarely at sapphic folks. Anthem gave the night a real Friday slot and a real sound system r ather than a back room\, and DJ Nani Soul\, a fixture in Orlando’s queer DJ circuit\, has been the anchor since. The result is a recurring Friday that regulars treat as a standing plan and newcomers tend to walk into alo ne and leave with a group. Some Fridays bring a themed edition with guest performers\; the baseline is always the same: Nani Soul\, a packed floor\, and a room where sapphic guests are the default rather than the exception . \n\nGetting here\nAnthem Orlando is at 100 N Orange Ave\, Orlando\, FL 3 2801\, in the heart of downtown. Street parking on Orange Avenue and the s urrounding blocks is free after 6 PM in most spots\, and the city garages on Central Boulevard and Library Lane are a short walk away.

Throughout my jo urney\, I've had the privilege of learning from internationally respected teachers including **Wolf Murphy\, Buddy Helm\, Thobos Lubamba\, Kasa Panz u\, Hossam Ramzy\, Mamady Keïta**\, and many others whose generosity has shaped both my musicianship and my approach to teaching.\nMy training incl udes certification in **Remo HealthRhythms®** and **Pound Pro**\, and I w as honored to contribute as an editor to the *Encyclopedia of World Rhythm s*. I also served as Orlando's drum facilitator for the **Public Urban Rit ual Experiment (PURE)**\, helping bring community drumming experiences to public spaces.\nAs a performer\, I've co-founded **Thee Flammable Babylon Percussion Ensemble** and have had the opportunity to perform with artists and groups including **Chasing Jonah\, Tangent\, Red Shift Mantra\, The M anteis Project\, Mr. Richard\, Leo Aether\, Ka Malinalli\, Liz Nash**\, an d many others.\nWhile I'm grateful for the experiences and mentors I've ha d along the way\, I still consider myself a student first. Every rhythm ca rries a story\, every tradition has something to teach\, and there is alwa ys more to learn.\nMy classes emphasize authentic world rhythms\, solid te chnique\, listening\, creativity\, and—most importantly—the joy of mak ing music together. Whether you're picking up a drum for the first time or looking to expand your musical vocabulary\, you'll find a welcoming commu nity where learning is hands-on\, encouraging\, and rooted in respect for the cultures from which these rhythms come.\nI believe rhythm is one of hu manity's oldest languages. My goal isn't simply to teach patterns—it's t o help people discover the connection\, confidence\, and community that em erge when we make music together.

In this colloquium\, I will desc ribe a method of turning quantum materials into programmable quantum syste ms. I will first briefly discuss how many-body GW-Bethe-Salpeter and Kadan off-Baym approaches provide a predictive framework for the linear and nonl inear optical response of two-dimensional semiconductors\, including excit onic effects\, harmonic generation\, and design rules for enhanced nonline ar response in layered materials. I will then focus on recent work showing that a gate-tunable conductor-dielectric-conductor heterostructure can pr ovide universal tuning of quantum electrodynamic interactions: the same pl atform allows interactions to be switched from familiar power-law behavior to exponential screening and even logarithmic antiscreening\, with direct implications for reconfigurable Coulomb\, dipolar\, van der Waals/Casimir -Polder\, and spin-spin interactions.\n\nBio: \nMichael N. Leuenberger is Professor of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Ce ntral Florida\, with appointments in the NanoScience Technology Center and Department of Physics. He is also a Visiting Scientist at MIT. He receive d his Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics from the University of Basel\, Switzerland\, under Daniel Loss\, and subsequently held postdocto ral positions at the University of Iowa with Michael Flatte and at UC San Diego with Lu Sham. His research spans quantum information science\, nonli near optics\, many-body theory of quantum materials\, and multiscale model ing of quantum devices. He has led or co-led research supported by AFOSR\, ARO\, DARPA\, NSF\, and ONR\, and his recent work includes predictive man y-body theories of nonlinear optical response in 2D materials\, excitonic quantum matter in breathing-kagome materials\, and programmable quantum el ectrodynamic interactions in van der Waals heterostructures.

About 95% of those fatalities were caused by the Plasmodium falciparum strain. U nlike other strains\, P. falciparum can cause mortality after recovery due to long-term effects of cerebral malaria and severe anemia.\n\nTo study t he impact of post-infection mortality\, we formulated a modified susceptib le\, exposed\, infected and removed (SEIR) disease model for P. falciparum and investigated how incorporating the PIM factor changes disease dynamic s. Analytical and numerical studies show oscillations at parameter values driven by the joint impact of reinfection and mortality among recovered in dividuals. This can inform public health by showing how P. falciparum dise ase dynamics may differ from what we previously believed and highlighting a possible need for longer-term monitoring of recovered patients.\n\nShort Bio: Carolina Solomon is a third-year mathematics major at UCF. She was s upported by the 2026 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship to investiga te how post-infection mortality affects malaria dynamics. She hopes to con tinue her research in mathematical epidemiology and complete an undergradu ate honors thesis in her final year at UCF.

I came up through creative industries\, then spent twelve yea rs at what was the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission\, now the Orlando Economic Partnership\, learning what it actually takes to move a region. The slow\, structural work of building relationships that compound \, aligning incentives across sectors\, and creating the conditions where the private market does things it would not do alone. I have worked alongs ide many regional leaders over the years. What I know about myself is that I am not done. I have more to give\, more to build\, and a clearer pictur e than ever of what it is actually going to take. \n\n\n\n\nAnd what it i s going to take is not another event. Not another building with innovation in the name. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capi tal\, research to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regional strategy across cities and counties that compounds o ver time instead of resetting every grant cycle. The connective tissue tha t does not just celebrate the ecosystem but structurally advances it.  \n Innovate Orlando\, as it was\, was not that system. I say that with full ownership. I ran it. And what I learned running it is that this work can not live outside the larger regional economic development infrastructure. It has to be woven into it\, or it spends all of its energy trying to be heard by the rooms it needs to be inside.  \nThat is why this decision is not hard. It is overdue.  \nI wanted you to hear this directly from m e: Innovate Orlando is transitioning its mission and programs back to the Orlando Economic Partnership\, and I am returning with them as Vice Presid ent of Innovation\, effective March 9.  \nThis is about finding the right partnerships\, alignments\, and connected momentum to do this work at t he scale it deserves. Moving this work inside the Orlando Economic Partne rship means the mission is now backed by the full infrastructure of region al government\, industry\, academia\, and community partners working towar d the same goal. The platform is bigger. The reach is longer. The mission  can have the infrastructure to match its ambition.  \nTech Connect\, t he Orlando Tech Summit and Community Awards\, and the Orlando Tech Grant a ll make the move. What comes next is not another program or another event. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capital\, researc h to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regi onal strategy that compounds over time instead of resetting every grant cy cle.  \nThis is not a step away from the work. It is the work\, finally in the right kitchen. Orlando does not need more cheerleaders. It needs i nfrastructure that works.  \nNow scroll down. Because this week’s news is exactly the argument I have been making the entire time. A Central Flor ida AV company is heading to the FIFA World Cup. UCF just launched a $3.5 billion campaign\, its largest in history. An Orlando cybersecurity co mpany hosted a national conference in our own backyard. Space Florida open ed a $531M call for projects. And that is just the headline layer. The ful l picture is below\, and it will remind you why this region is not waiting to be discovered. It never was.  \n  \nSpace Coast and Aerospace  \nRe ad these four stories as phases of a single capital formation sequence. Pu blic infrastructure investment comes first and de-risks everything that fo llows. Private real estate comes second\, signaling long-term operational commitment. International capital comes third\, validating that the regi on can compete globally. NASA is the backdrop that makes all three moves l egible.  \nBlue Origin’s $11.5M land acquisition in Cocoa is the kind o f move a company makes when it has already decided the Space Coast is a lo ng-term operating address\, not a launch convenience. That decision compou nds against Space Florida’s 2026 Spaceport Improvement Program\, which j ust opened a call for projects backed by $531M in state investment\, esse ntially a public infrastructure commitment that de-risks the private capi tal following behind it. EOS-X Space’s acquisition of Space Perspective and its $650M+ combined valuation shows what happens when international ae rospace capital looks for a U.S. home and finds that this region has both the infrastructure and the talent density to justify the bet. NASA’s Art emis 2 timeline\, still targeting April\, is the backdrop to all of it. Wh en public investment\, private real estate\, and international capital are all moving in the same direction at the same time\, that is not momentum. That is a thesis becoming infrastructure.  \n\nBlue Origin snags 20-acr e Cocoa site for $11.5M as latest Brevard expansion \n\n\nEOS-X Space Exp ands U.S. Footprint after Space Perspective Deal \n\n\nNASA repairs Artem is 2 moon rocket in hopes of an April lunar launch \n\n\nSpace Florida’ s 2026 Call for Spaceport Projects\, $531M in state investment\, April 22 deadline \n\n  \nDefense\, Drones and Cybersecurity  \nRead these five stories as a demand signal map. The government signals what it needs. The private sector builds the product. The universities build the workforce. T hen the cycle repeats at a higher level. Every story in this section is a different point on that loop.  \nOrange County’s $7M drone-as-first-r esponder program is a local government buying what the private market has already proven works\, a direct downstream effect of companies and researc hers in this region building real-world drone operations for years. Centra l Florida’s role in the missile defense planning conversation runs direc tly through the modeling and simulation corridor\, home to more than 15\,0 00 simulation professionals working across systems that range from missile guidance and radar tracking to autonomous vehicle training and pilot read iness. That is the digital infrastructure missile defense architecture req uires before a physical system is ever built. The golden dome starts with a digital twin\, and this region is where those twins get made.   Threa tLocker’s Zero Trust World conference just made that demand signal visib le to thousands of security professionals gathered in Orlando this week\, and Embry-Riddle answered with both a new aviation cybersecurity certifica tion program and a drone-based research deployment on Lake Okeechobee. Tho se same hyperspectral imaging and autonomous sampling systems being used t o study algae blooms can be adapted for border surveillance\, maritime pat rol\, and environmental threat detection. Embry-Riddle is not just doing e nvironmental research. It is building the operational proof of concept for a capability the defense community is actively looking for. These stories are not parallel. They are sequential. The research produces the workforc e. The workforce builds the products. The products win the contracts. The contracts fund the next round of research.  \n\n$7M approved to fund firs t responder drones in Orange County \n\n\nCentral Florida’s role in Tru mp’s missile defense system \n\n\nThreatLocker Zero Trust World 2026\, Orlando\, March 4-6 \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Launches Aviation Cybersecurity Tr aining and Certification \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Researchers Develop Drone Tec h to Study Harmful Blue-Green Algae on Lake Okeechobee \n\n  \nHealth Te ch and Life Sciences  \nRead these three stories as a pipeline\, not a cl uster. The forum sets the agenda. The research fills it. The talent expor ts validate it globally and come back. That is how a health tech ecosyst em matures.  \nLake Nona’s Impact Forum argument\, that longevity is in separable from technology\, is easy to endorse on a panel stage. What make s it credible is the research pipeline sitting behind it. A UCF researcher developing a new therapy for diabetic neuropathy is working on a conditio n that affects more than 50% of people with diabetes and has no FDA-approv ed cure\, the kind of gap that attracts serious capital once clinical proo f of concept exists. A UCF doctoral graduate heading to Harvard Medical Sc hool to advance AI-driven clinical tools is exactly the talent export stor y that benchmarks a region’s research quality on a national stage\, even as it feels like a loss locally. Orlando’s health tech ecosystem is not built on one medical city with good architecture. It is built on a univer sity research pipeline that feeds institutions like Harvard\, and on appli ed science that is moving toward the clinic. Lake Nona is the platform. UC F is the engine underneath it.  \n\nLake Nona Impact Forum: There can’t be longevity without tech \n\n\nUCF Researcher Developing New Therapy to Treat Diabetic Neuropathy \n\n\nUCF Doctoral Grad Heads to Harvard Medic al School to Advance AI-Driven Clinical Tools \n\n  \nResearch\, Talent and University Innovation  \nIf you wanted to design a regional innovatio n ecosystem from scratch\, you would do something that looks very much lik e what Central Florida’s universities are doing right now. UCF’s $3.5 billion Go For Launch campaign is the largest fundraising effort in th e university’s history and it is essentially a capital formation eve nt for the ecosystem. The proceeds flow into research infrastructure\, sch olarships\, and facilities that the private sector will benefit from dir ectly. The $4M electron microscope is a small illustration of the larger l ogic: UCF is not just training students\, it is building shared research infrastructure that companies in the region can access without owning. Ro llins College’s addition of the Rick Goings Institute to its $200M Innov ation Triangle takes a different approach\, connecting liberal arts educat ion to entrepreneurship and economic development\, a bet that the skills g ap in the innovation economy is not purely technical.   \nAnd at Full Sa il University in Winter Park\, my alma mater\, student filmmakers just lan ded finalist spots in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films competition\, a preci se illustration of what happens when production-focused education puts stu dents on national stages before they graduate. These institutions are not competing. They are covering different parts of the same talent and rese arch formation problem\, and the aggregate investment this week runs well past $3.7 billion. That is not coincidence. That is a coordinated instit utional bet on this region’s trajectory.  \n\nUCF Launches $3.5 Billion Go For Launch Campaign \n\n\nUCF’s New $4M Electron Microscope Expands Research Access Across Campus\, Industry \n\n\nUCF Computer Science Prof essor Recognized for Contributions to Human-Computer Interaction \n\n\nNe w institute to join Rollins College’s $200M Innovation Triangle \n\n\nF ull Sail Filmmakers Named Finalists in Prestigious Nationwide Film Competi tion\, Coca-Cola Refreshing Films \n\n  \nStartups\, Capital and Busin ess Growth  \nRead these four stories as a capital stack\, not as isolate d company announcements. FirmPilot’s $22M Series A-1 in AI legal marke ting is venture capital flowing into vertical SaaS\, a signal that investo rs see Orlando-area companies as credible bets at growth-stage check sizes \, not just seed experiments. Kore.ai’s strategic growth investment fr om AllianceBernstein is institutional private credit entering the enterpri se AI story through an Orlando-headquartered company\, a different flavor of capital\, from a different part of the market\, validating a differen t stage of growth. RSG Security’s California expansion and Laser Photoni cs’ consolidation to Lake Mary are operational scaling stories\, not fun draising announcements. They represent companies that have already raise d and are now executing. Together\, the four companies span early growth\, scale-up\, and operational maturity. That is what a functioning startup e cosystem looks like when it is working: multiple companies at multiple sta ges\, attracting multiple types of capital\, and still calling Central Fl orida home.  \nOne gap this newsletter never fully closed is the capital formation story itself. Who is writing the checks in Orlando? What does the fund landscape actually look like? Where does a founder go when they need a Series A and do not want to fly to San Francisco to get it? That is the story I am most eager to tell from inside OEP\, where the relationshi ps between capital\, institutions\, and founders can be mapped and connect ed at regional scale.  \n\nFirmPilot Secures $22 Million Series A-1 \n\n \nKore.ai Secures Strategic Growth Investment from AllianceBernstein \n\n \nMatthew Sierra\, Founder of RSG Security\, Scales Orlando’s Fastest-Gr owing Private Security Firm as Company Expands Into California \n\n\nLase r Photonics Announces Strategic Consolidation of Manufacturing Footprint t o Lake Mary\, Florida \n\n  \nTech Infrastructure and Economic Developme nt  \nRead these three stories as a market validation sequence. First ten ant\, first mobility operator\, first AV deployment at global scale. Eac h one lowers the risk for everything that follows.  \nTerracon signing as the first tenant at the Lake Mary Technology Center is significant not fo r the lease itself but for what a first tenant signals to every tenant tha t follows. The anchor has arrived\, the risk has been absorbed\, the addr ess is legitimate. Freebee’s EV rideshare launch in Lake Nona works the same way: it is a Miami company choosing a Central Florida innovation di strict as its expansion market\, which tells you something about how that district is perceived by operators making real capital allocation decision s outside of Florida. Beep is the furthest along of the three. An Altamo nte Springs company that built the first permanent AV deployment by any U. S. city is now carrying 150\,000 kilometers of verified real-world opera tions into the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. That is a Central Florida compan y writing the operational playbook for autonomous mobility on a global sta ge. The infrastructure layer of this ecosystem is not background. It is th e proof of concept that makes everything else fundable.  \n\nLake Mary Te chnology Center lands engineering firm as first leaseholder \n\n\nMiami r ideshare company brings electric vehicles to Lake Nona \n\n\nBeep AV depl oyments launching in Altamonte Springs and Atlanta World Cup \n\n  \nIn Case You Missed It  \nSpaceX’s March 3 Starlink launch from Cape Canave ral produced a jellyfish atmospheric effect visible across Central Florida \, striking enough that it trended locally\, routine enough that it barely made the business press. That tension is itself a story: Florida’s spac eport is now launching so frequently that rocket plumes have become regi onal weather. NASA’s separate announcement of a major change to its long -term lunar architecture adds policy context to the Artemis 2 repair timel ine. Watch this space as the downstream implications for Kennedy and the S pace Coast supply chain come into focus. Team Orlando’s SERDP and ESTCP wildland fire safety tabletop exchange is the quietest story of the week\, but it is exactly the kind of cross-sector defense research collaboration that keeps the connective tissue of this community intact between the lar ger headlines. And an Orlando-area studio launches Everwind\, a sandbox s urvival RPG\, on Steam Early Access March 17\, a Central Florida game goin g live on one of the world’s largest gaming platforms.  \n\nSpaceX ‘j ellyfish’ launch recap: Live updates from Florida Starlink mission \n\n \nNASA Announces Major Change to Plans For Putting Humans on The Moon \n\ n\nSERDP and ESTCP host wildland safety\, fire PPE tabletop exchange \n\n \nSandbox Survival RPG Everwind launches on March 17 via Steam Early Acces s \n\n  \nThank You  \nThis newsletter was never the point. It was evid ence.  \nEvidence that this ecosystem had stories worth telling. Evidence that the founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors building in O rlando deserved the same attention as the regions that simply had better P R. Evidence that connective tissue\, the unglamorous\, unsponsored\, unsex y work of linking people and ideas and capital across a geography\, is the difference between a collection of companies and an actual ecosystem.  \ nThat evidence is now substantial.  \nDavid Adelson built the foundation .

I came up through creative industries\, then spent twelve yea rs at what was the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission\, now the Orlando Economic Partnership\, learning what it actually takes to move a region. The slow\, structural work of building relationships that compound \, aligning incentives across sectors\, and creating the conditions where the private market does things it would not do alone. I have worked alongs ide many regional leaders over the years. What I know about myself is that I am not done. I have more to give\, more to build\, and a clearer pictur e than ever of what it is actually going to take. \n\n\n\n\nAnd what it i s going to take is not another event. Not another building with innovation in the name. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capi tal\, research to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regional strategy across cities and counties that compounds o ver time instead of resetting every grant cycle. The connective tissue tha t does not just celebrate the ecosystem but structurally advances it.  \n Innovate Orlando\, as it was\, was not that system. I say that with full ownership. I ran it. And what I learned running it is that this work can not live outside the larger regional economic development infrastructure. It has to be woven into it\, or it spends all of its energy trying to be heard by the rooms it needs to be inside.  \nThat is why this decision is not hard. It is overdue.  \nI wanted you to hear this directly from m e: Innovate Orlando is transitioning its mission and programs back to the Orlando Economic Partnership\, and I am returning with them as Vice Presid ent of Innovation\, effective March 9.  \nThis is about finding the right partnerships\, alignments\, and connected momentum to do this work at t he scale it deserves. Moving this work inside the Orlando Economic Partne rship means the mission is now backed by the full infrastructure of region al government\, industry\, academia\, and community partners working towar d the same goal. The platform is bigger. The reach is longer. The mission  can have the infrastructure to match its ambition.  \nTech Connect\, t he Orlando Tech Summit and Community Awards\, and the Orlando Tech Grant a ll make the move. What comes next is not another program or another event. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capital\, researc h to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regi onal strategy that compounds over time instead of resetting every grant cy cle.  \nThis is not a step away from the work. It is the work\, finally in the right kitchen. Orlando does not need more cheerleaders. It needs i nfrastructure that works.  \nNow scroll down. Because this week’s news is exactly the argument I have been making the entire time. A Central Flor ida AV company is heading to the FIFA World Cup. UCF just launched a $3.5 billion campaign\, its largest in history. An Orlando cybersecurity co mpany hosted a national conference in our own backyard. Space Florida open ed a $531M call for projects. And that is just the headline layer. The ful l picture is below\, and it will remind you why this region is not waiting to be discovered. It never was.  \n  \nSpace Coast and Aerospace  \nRe ad these four stories as phases of a single capital formation sequence. Pu blic infrastructure investment comes first and de-risks everything that fo llows. Private real estate comes second\, signaling long-term operational commitment. International capital comes third\, validating that the regi on can compete globally. NASA is the backdrop that makes all three moves l egible.  \nBlue Origin’s $11.5M land acquisition in Cocoa is the kind o f move a company makes when it has already decided the Space Coast is a lo ng-term operating address\, not a launch convenience. That decision compou nds against Space Florida’s 2026 Spaceport Improvement Program\, which j ust opened a call for projects backed by $531M in state investment\, esse ntially a public infrastructure commitment that de-risks the private capi tal following behind it. EOS-X Space’s acquisition of Space Perspective and its $650M+ combined valuation shows what happens when international ae rospace capital looks for a U.S. home and finds that this region has both the infrastructure and the talent density to justify the bet. NASA’s Art emis 2 timeline\, still targeting April\, is the backdrop to all of it. Wh en public investment\, private real estate\, and international capital are all moving in the same direction at the same time\, that is not momentum. That is a thesis becoming infrastructure.  \n\nBlue Origin snags 20-acr e Cocoa site for $11.5M as latest Brevard expansion \n\n\nEOS-X Space Exp ands U.S. Footprint after Space Perspective Deal \n\n\nNASA repairs Artem is 2 moon rocket in hopes of an April lunar launch \n\n\nSpace Florida’ s 2026 Call for Spaceport Projects\, $531M in state investment\, April 22 deadline \n\n  \nDefense\, Drones and Cybersecurity  \nRead these five stories as a demand signal map. The government signals what it needs. The private sector builds the product. The universities build the workforce. T hen the cycle repeats at a higher level. Every story in this section is a different point on that loop.  \nOrange County’s $7M drone-as-first-r esponder program is a local government buying what the private market has already proven works\, a direct downstream effect of companies and researc hers in this region building real-world drone operations for years. Centra l Florida’s role in the missile defense planning conversation runs direc tly through the modeling and simulation corridor\, home to more than 15\,0 00 simulation professionals working across systems that range from missile guidance and radar tracking to autonomous vehicle training and pilot read iness. That is the digital infrastructure missile defense architecture req uires before a physical system is ever built. The golden dome starts with a digital twin\, and this region is where those twins get made.   Threa tLocker’s Zero Trust World conference just made that demand signal visib le to thousands of security professionals gathered in Orlando this week\, and Embry-Riddle answered with both a new aviation cybersecurity certifica tion program and a drone-based research deployment on Lake Okeechobee. Tho se same hyperspectral imaging and autonomous sampling systems being used t o study algae blooms can be adapted for border surveillance\, maritime pat rol\, and environmental threat detection. Embry-Riddle is not just doing e nvironmental research. It is building the operational proof of concept for a capability the defense community is actively looking for. These stories are not parallel. They are sequential. The research produces the workforc e. The workforce builds the products. The products win the contracts. The contracts fund the next round of research.  \n\n$7M approved to fund firs t responder drones in Orange County \n\n\nCentral Florida’s role in Tru mp’s missile defense system \n\n\nThreatLocker Zero Trust World 2026\, Orlando\, March 4-6 \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Launches Aviation Cybersecurity Tr aining and Certification \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Researchers Develop Drone Tec h to Study Harmful Blue-Green Algae on Lake Okeechobee \n\n  \nHealth Te ch and Life Sciences  \nRead these three stories as a pipeline\, not a cl uster. The forum sets the agenda. The research fills it. The talent expor ts validate it globally and come back. That is how a health tech ecosyst em matures.  \nLake Nona’s Impact Forum argument\, that longevity is in separable from technology\, is easy to endorse on a panel stage. What make s it credible is the research pipeline sitting behind it. A UCF researcher developing a new therapy for diabetic neuropathy is working on a conditio n that affects more than 50% of people with diabetes and has no FDA-approv ed cure\, the kind of gap that attracts serious capital once clinical proo f of concept exists. A UCF doctoral graduate heading to Harvard Medical Sc hool to advance AI-driven clinical tools is exactly the talent export stor y that benchmarks a region’s research quality on a national stage\, even as it feels like a loss locally. Orlando’s health tech ecosystem is not built on one medical city with good architecture. It is built on a univer sity research pipeline that feeds institutions like Harvard\, and on appli ed science that is moving toward the clinic. Lake Nona is the platform. UC F is the engine underneath it.  \n\nLake Nona Impact Forum: There can’t be longevity without tech \n\n\nUCF Researcher Developing New Therapy to Treat Diabetic Neuropathy \n\n\nUCF Doctoral Grad Heads to Harvard Medic al School to Advance AI-Driven Clinical Tools \n\n  \nResearch\, Talent and University Innovation  \nIf you wanted to design a regional innovatio n ecosystem from scratch\, you would do something that looks very much lik e what Central Florida’s universities are doing right now. UCF’s $3.5 billion Go For Launch campaign is the largest fundraising effort in th e university’s history and it is essentially a capital formation eve nt for the ecosystem. The proceeds flow into research infrastructure\, sch olarships\, and facilities that the private sector will benefit from dir ectly. The $4M electron microscope is a small illustration of the larger l ogic: UCF is not just training students\, it is building shared research infrastructure that companies in the region can access without owning. Ro llins College’s addition of the Rick Goings Institute to its $200M Innov ation Triangle takes a different approach\, connecting liberal arts educat ion to entrepreneurship and economic development\, a bet that the skills g ap in the innovation economy is not purely technical.   \nAnd at Full Sa il University in Winter Park\, my alma mater\, student filmmakers just lan ded finalist spots in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films competition\, a preci se illustration of what happens when production-focused education puts stu dents on national stages before they graduate. These institutions are not competing. They are covering different parts of the same talent and rese arch formation problem\, and the aggregate investment this week runs well past $3.7 billion. That is not coincidence. That is a coordinated instit utional bet on this region’s trajectory.  \n\nUCF Launches $3.5 Billion Go For Launch Campaign \n\n\nUCF’s New $4M Electron Microscope Expands Research Access Across Campus\, Industry \n\n\nUCF Computer Science Prof essor Recognized for Contributions to Human-Computer Interaction \n\n\nNe w institute to join Rollins College’s $200M Innovation Triangle \n\n\nF ull Sail Filmmakers Named Finalists in Prestigious Nationwide Film Competi tion\, Coca-Cola Refreshing Films \n\n  \nStartups\, Capital and Busin ess Growth  \nRead these four stories as a capital stack\, not as isolate d company announcements. FirmPilot’s $22M Series A-1 in AI legal marke ting is venture capital flowing into vertical SaaS\, a signal that investo rs see Orlando-area companies as credible bets at growth-stage check sizes \, not just seed experiments. Kore.ai’s strategic growth investment fr om AllianceBernstein is institutional private credit entering the enterpri se AI story through an Orlando-headquartered company\, a different flavor of capital\, from a different part of the market\, validating a differen t stage of growth. RSG Security’s California expansion and Laser Photoni cs’ consolidation to Lake Mary are operational scaling stories\, not fun draising announcements. They represent companies that have already raise d and are now executing. Together\, the four companies span early growth\, scale-up\, and operational maturity. That is what a functioning startup e cosystem looks like when it is working: multiple companies at multiple sta ges\, attracting multiple types of capital\, and still calling Central Fl orida home.  \nOne gap this newsletter never fully closed is the capital formation story itself. Who is writing the checks in Orlando? What does the fund landscape actually look like? Where does a founder go when they need a Series A and do not want to fly to San Francisco to get it? That is the story I am most eager to tell from inside OEP\, where the relationshi ps between capital\, institutions\, and founders can be mapped and connect ed at regional scale.  \n\nFirmPilot Secures $22 Million Series A-1 \n\n \nKore.ai Secures Strategic Growth Investment from AllianceBernstein \n\n \nMatthew Sierra\, Founder of RSG Security\, Scales Orlando’s Fastest-Gr owing Private Security Firm as Company Expands Into California \n\n\nLase r Photonics Announces Strategic Consolidation of Manufacturing Footprint t o Lake Mary\, Florida \n\n  \nTech Infrastructure and Economic Developme nt  \nRead these three stories as a market validation sequence. First ten ant\, first mobility operator\, first AV deployment at global scale. Eac h one lowers the risk for everything that follows.  \nTerracon signing as the first tenant at the Lake Mary Technology Center is significant not fo r the lease itself but for what a first tenant signals to every tenant tha t follows. The anchor has arrived\, the risk has been absorbed\, the addr ess is legitimate. Freebee’s EV rideshare launch in Lake Nona works the same way: it is a Miami company choosing a Central Florida innovation di strict as its expansion market\, which tells you something about how that district is perceived by operators making real capital allocation decision s outside of Florida. Beep is the furthest along of the three. An Altamo nte Springs company that built the first permanent AV deployment by any U. S. city is now carrying 150\,000 kilometers of verified real-world opera tions into the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. That is a Central Florida compan y writing the operational playbook for autonomous mobility on a global sta ge. The infrastructure layer of this ecosystem is not background. It is th e proof of concept that makes everything else fundable.  \n\nLake Mary Te chnology Center lands engineering firm as first leaseholder \n\n\nMiami r ideshare company brings electric vehicles to Lake Nona \n\n\nBeep AV depl oyments launching in Altamonte Springs and Atlanta World Cup \n\n  \nIn Case You Missed It  \nSpaceX’s March 3 Starlink launch from Cape Canave ral produced a jellyfish atmospheric effect visible across Central Florida \, striking enough that it trended locally\, routine enough that it barely made the business press. That tension is itself a story: Florida’s spac eport is now launching so frequently that rocket plumes have become regi onal weather. NASA’s separate announcement of a major change to its long -term lunar architecture adds policy context to the Artemis 2 repair timel ine. Watch this space as the downstream implications for Kennedy and the S pace Coast supply chain come into focus. Team Orlando’s SERDP and ESTCP wildland fire safety tabletop exchange is the quietest story of the week\, but it is exactly the kind of cross-sector defense research collaboration that keeps the connective tissue of this community intact between the lar ger headlines. And an Orlando-area studio launches Everwind\, a sandbox s urvival RPG\, on Steam Early Access March 17\, a Central Florida game goin g live on one of the world’s largest gaming platforms.  \n\nSpaceX ‘j ellyfish’ launch recap: Live updates from Florida Starlink mission \n\n \nNASA Announces Major Change to Plans For Putting Humans on The Moon \n\ n\nSERDP and ESTCP host wildland safety\, fire PPE tabletop exchange \n\n \nSandbox Survival RPG Everwind launches on March 17 via Steam Early Acces s \n\n  \nThank You  \nThis newsletter was never the point. It was evid ence.  \nEvidence that this ecosystem had stories worth telling. Evidence that the founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors building in O rlando deserved the same attention as the regions that simply had better P R. Evidence that connective tissue\, the unglamorous\, unsponsored\, unsex y work of linking people and ideas and capital across a geography\, is the difference between a collection of companies and an actual ecosystem.  \ nThat evidence is now substantial.  \nDavid Adelson built the foundation .

I came up through creative industries\, then spent twelve yea rs at what was the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission\, now the Orlando Economic Partnership\, learning what it actually takes to move a region. The slow\, structural work of building relationships that compound \, aligning incentives across sectors\, and creating the conditions where the private market does things it would not do alone. I have worked alongs ide many regional leaders over the years. What I know about myself is that I am not done. I have more to give\, more to build\, and a clearer pictur e than ever of what it is actually going to take. \n\n\n\n\nAnd what it i s going to take is not another event. Not another building with innovation in the name. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capi tal\, research to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regional strategy across cities and counties that compounds o ver time instead of resetting every grant cycle. The connective tissue tha t does not just celebrate the ecosystem but structurally advances it.  \n Innovate Orlando\, as it was\, was not that system. I say that with full ownership. I ran it. And what I learned running it is that this work can not live outside the larger regional economic development infrastructure. It has to be woven into it\, or it spends all of its energy trying to be heard by the rooms it needs to be inside.  \nThat is why this decision is not hard. It is overdue.  \nI wanted you to hear this directly from m e: Innovate Orlando is transitioning its mission and programs back to the Orlando Economic Partnership\, and I am returning with them as Vice Presid ent of Innovation\, effective March 9.  \nThis is about finding the right partnerships\, alignments\, and connected momentum to do this work at t he scale it deserves. Moving this work inside the Orlando Economic Partne rship means the mission is now backed by the full infrastructure of region al government\, industry\, academia\, and community partners working towar d the same goal. The platform is bigger. The reach is longer. The mission  can have the infrastructure to match its ambition.  \nTech Connect\, t he Orlando Tech Summit and Community Awards\, and the Orlando Tech Grant a ll make the move. What comes next is not another program or another event. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capital\, researc h to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regi onal strategy that compounds over time instead of resetting every grant cy cle.  \nThis is not a step away from the work. It is the work\, finally in the right kitchen. Orlando does not need more cheerleaders. It needs i nfrastructure that works.  \nNow scroll down. Because this week’s news is exactly the argument I have been making the entire time. A Central Flor ida AV company is heading to the FIFA World Cup. UCF just launched a $3.5 billion campaign\, its largest in history. An Orlando cybersecurity co mpany hosted a national conference in our own backyard. Space Florida open ed a $531M call for projects. And that is just the headline layer. The ful l picture is below\, and it will remind you why this region is not waiting to be discovered. It never was.  \n  \nSpace Coast and Aerospace  \nRe ad these four stories as phases of a single capital formation sequence. Pu blic infrastructure investment comes first and de-risks everything that fo llows. Private real estate comes second\, signaling long-term operational commitment. International capital comes third\, validating that the regi on can compete globally. NASA is the backdrop that makes all three moves l egible.  \nBlue Origin’s $11.5M land acquisition in Cocoa is the kind o f move a company makes when it has already decided the Space Coast is a lo ng-term operating address\, not a launch convenience. That decision compou nds against Space Florida’s 2026 Spaceport Improvement Program\, which j ust opened a call for projects backed by $531M in state investment\, esse ntially a public infrastructure commitment that de-risks the private capi tal following behind it. EOS-X Space’s acquisition of Space Perspective and its $650M+ combined valuation shows what happens when international ae rospace capital looks for a U.S. home and finds that this region has both the infrastructure and the talent density to justify the bet. NASA’s Art emis 2 timeline\, still targeting April\, is the backdrop to all of it. Wh en public investment\, private real estate\, and international capital are all moving in the same direction at the same time\, that is not momentum. That is a thesis becoming infrastructure.  \n\nBlue Origin snags 20-acr e Cocoa site for $11.5M as latest Brevard expansion \n\n\nEOS-X Space Exp ands U.S. Footprint after Space Perspective Deal \n\n\nNASA repairs Artem is 2 moon rocket in hopes of an April lunar launch \n\n\nSpace Florida’ s 2026 Call for Spaceport Projects\, $531M in state investment\, April 22 deadline \n\n  \nDefense\, Drones and Cybersecurity  \nRead these five stories as a demand signal map. The government signals what it needs. The private sector builds the product. The universities build the workforce. T hen the cycle repeats at a higher level. Every story in this section is a different point on that loop.  \nOrange County’s $7M drone-as-first-r esponder program is a local government buying what the private market has already proven works\, a direct downstream effect of companies and researc hers in this region building real-world drone operations for years. Centra l Florida’s role in the missile defense planning conversation runs direc tly through the modeling and simulation corridor\, home to more than 15\,0 00 simulation professionals working across systems that range from missile guidance and radar tracking to autonomous vehicle training and pilot read iness. That is the digital infrastructure missile defense architecture req uires before a physical system is ever built. The golden dome starts with a digital twin\, and this region is where those twins get made.   Threa tLocker’s Zero Trust World conference just made that demand signal visib le to thousands of security professionals gathered in Orlando this week\, and Embry-Riddle answered with both a new aviation cybersecurity certifica tion program and a drone-based research deployment on Lake Okeechobee. Tho se same hyperspectral imaging and autonomous sampling systems being used t o study algae blooms can be adapted for border surveillance\, maritime pat rol\, and environmental threat detection. Embry-Riddle is not just doing e nvironmental research. It is building the operational proof of concept for a capability the defense community is actively looking for. These stories are not parallel. They are sequential. The research produces the workforc e. The workforce builds the products. The products win the contracts. The contracts fund the next round of research.  \n\n$7M approved to fund firs t responder drones in Orange County \n\n\nCentral Florida’s role in Tru mp’s missile defense system \n\n\nThreatLocker Zero Trust World 2026\, Orlando\, March 4-6 \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Launches Aviation Cybersecurity Tr aining and Certification \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Researchers Develop Drone Tec h to Study Harmful Blue-Green Algae on Lake Okeechobee \n\n  \nHealth Te ch and Life Sciences  \nRead these three stories as a pipeline\, not a cl uster. The forum sets the agenda. The research fills it. The talent expor ts validate it globally and come back. That is how a health tech ecosyst em matures.  \nLake Nona’s Impact Forum argument\, that longevity is in separable from technology\, is easy to endorse on a panel stage. What make s it credible is the research pipeline sitting behind it. A UCF researcher developing a new therapy for diabetic neuropathy is working on a conditio n that affects more than 50% of people with diabetes and has no FDA-approv ed cure\, the kind of gap that attracts serious capital once clinical proo f of concept exists. A UCF doctoral graduate heading to Harvard Medical Sc hool to advance AI-driven clinical tools is exactly the talent export stor y that benchmarks a region’s research quality on a national stage\, even as it feels like a loss locally. Orlando’s health tech ecosystem is not built on one medical city with good architecture. It is built on a univer sity research pipeline that feeds institutions like Harvard\, and on appli ed science that is moving toward the clinic. Lake Nona is the platform. UC F is the engine underneath it.  \n\nLake Nona Impact Forum: There can’t be longevity without tech \n\n\nUCF Researcher Developing New Therapy to Treat Diabetic Neuropathy \n\n\nUCF Doctoral Grad Heads to Harvard Medic al School to Advance AI-Driven Clinical Tools \n\n  \nResearch\, Talent and University Innovation  \nIf you wanted to design a regional innovatio n ecosystem from scratch\, you would do something that looks very much lik e what Central Florida’s universities are doing right now. UCF’s $3.5 billion Go For Launch campaign is the largest fundraising effort in th e university’s history and it is essentially a capital formation eve nt for the ecosystem. The proceeds flow into research infrastructure\, sch olarships\, and facilities that the private sector will benefit from dir ectly. The $4M electron microscope is a small illustration of the larger l ogic: UCF is not just training students\, it is building shared research infrastructure that companies in the region can access without owning. Ro llins College’s addition of the Rick Goings Institute to its $200M Innov ation Triangle takes a different approach\, connecting liberal arts educat ion to entrepreneurship and economic development\, a bet that the skills g ap in the innovation economy is not purely technical.   \nAnd at Full Sa il University in Winter Park\, my alma mater\, student filmmakers just lan ded finalist spots in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films competition\, a preci se illustration of what happens when production-focused education puts stu dents on national stages before they graduate. These institutions are not competing. They are covering different parts of the same talent and rese arch formation problem\, and the aggregate investment this week runs well past $3.7 billion. That is not coincidence. That is a coordinated instit utional bet on this region’s trajectory.  \n\nUCF Launches $3.5 Billion Go For Launch Campaign \n\n\nUCF’s New $4M Electron Microscope Expands Research Access Across Campus\, Industry \n\n\nUCF Computer Science Prof essor Recognized for Contributions to Human-Computer Interaction \n\n\nNe w institute to join Rollins College’s $200M Innovation Triangle \n\n\nF ull Sail Filmmakers Named Finalists in Prestigious Nationwide Film Competi tion\, Coca-Cola Refreshing Films \n\n  \nStartups\, Capital and Busin ess Growth  \nRead these four stories as a capital stack\, not as isolate d company announcements. FirmPilot’s $22M Series A-1 in AI legal marke ting is venture capital flowing into vertical SaaS\, a signal that investo rs see Orlando-area companies as credible bets at growth-stage check sizes \, not just seed experiments. Kore.ai’s strategic growth investment fr om AllianceBernstein is institutional private credit entering the enterpri se AI story through an Orlando-headquartered company\, a different flavor of capital\, from a different part of the market\, validating a differen t stage of growth. RSG Security’s California expansion and Laser Photoni cs’ consolidation to Lake Mary are operational scaling stories\, not fun draising announcements. They represent companies that have already raise d and are now executing. Together\, the four companies span early growth\, scale-up\, and operational maturity. That is what a functioning startup e cosystem looks like when it is working: multiple companies at multiple sta ges\, attracting multiple types of capital\, and still calling Central Fl orida home.  \nOne gap this newsletter never fully closed is the capital formation story itself. Who is writing the checks in Orlando? What does the fund landscape actually look like? Where does a founder go when they need a Series A and do not want to fly to San Francisco to get it? That is the story I am most eager to tell from inside OEP\, where the relationshi ps between capital\, institutions\, and founders can be mapped and connect ed at regional scale.  \n\nFirmPilot Secures $22 Million Series A-1 \n\n \nKore.ai Secures Strategic Growth Investment from AllianceBernstein \n\n \nMatthew Sierra\, Founder of RSG Security\, Scales Orlando’s Fastest-Gr owing Private Security Firm as Company Expands Into California \n\n\nLase r Photonics Announces Strategic Consolidation of Manufacturing Footprint t o Lake Mary\, Florida \n\n  \nTech Infrastructure and Economic Developme nt  \nRead these three stories as a market validation sequence. First ten ant\, first mobility operator\, first AV deployment at global scale. Eac h one lowers the risk for everything that follows.  \nTerracon signing as the first tenant at the Lake Mary Technology Center is significant not fo r the lease itself but for what a first tenant signals to every tenant tha t follows. The anchor has arrived\, the risk has been absorbed\, the addr ess is legitimate. Freebee’s EV rideshare launch in Lake Nona works the same way: it is a Miami company choosing a Central Florida innovation di strict as its expansion market\, which tells you something about how that district is perceived by operators making real capital allocation decision s outside of Florida. Beep is the furthest along of the three. An Altamo nte Springs company that built the first permanent AV deployment by any U. S. city is now carrying 150\,000 kilometers of verified real-world opera tions into the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. That is a Central Florida compan y writing the operational playbook for autonomous mobility on a global sta ge. The infrastructure layer of this ecosystem is not background. It is th e proof of concept that makes everything else fundable.  \n\nLake Mary Te chnology Center lands engineering firm as first leaseholder \n\n\nMiami r ideshare company brings electric vehicles to Lake Nona \n\n\nBeep AV depl oyments launching in Altamonte Springs and Atlanta World Cup \n\n  \nIn Case You Missed It  \nSpaceX’s March 3 Starlink launch from Cape Canave ral produced a jellyfish atmospheric effect visible across Central Florida \, striking enough that it trended locally\, routine enough that it barely made the business press. That tension is itself a story: Florida’s spac eport is now launching so frequently that rocket plumes have become regi onal weather. NASA’s separate announcement of a major change to its long -term lunar architecture adds policy context to the Artemis 2 repair timel ine. Watch this space as the downstream implications for Kennedy and the S pace Coast supply chain come into focus. Team Orlando’s SERDP and ESTCP wildland fire safety tabletop exchange is the quietest story of the week\, but it is exactly the kind of cross-sector defense research collaboration that keeps the connective tissue of this community intact between the lar ger headlines. And an Orlando-area studio launches Everwind\, a sandbox s urvival RPG\, on Steam Early Access March 17\, a Central Florida game goin g live on one of the world’s largest gaming platforms.  \n\nSpaceX ‘j ellyfish’ launch recap: Live updates from Florida Starlink mission \n\n \nNASA Announces Major Change to Plans For Putting Humans on The Moon \n\ n\nSERDP and ESTCP host wildland safety\, fire PPE tabletop exchange \n\n \nSandbox Survival RPG Everwind launches on March 17 via Steam Early Acces s \n\n  \nThank You  \nThis newsletter was never the point. It was evid ence.  \nEvidence that this ecosystem had stories worth telling. Evidence that the founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors building in O rlando deserved the same attention as the regions that simply had better P R. Evidence that connective tissue\, the unglamorous\, unsponsored\, unsex y work of linking people and ideas and capital across a geography\, is the difference between a collection of companies and an actual ecosystem.  \ nThat evidence is now substantial.  \nDavid Adelson built the foundation . Ashley McMullan built it with me week after week. Our sponsors and board made the long bet.

DJ Nani Soul is on sound from 10 PM straight t hrough to 2:30 AM. If you have been looking for lesbian and sapphic nightl ife in downtown Orlando that actually centers you\, this is the Friday to put in your phone. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\nDJ Nani Soul from 10 PM to 2: 30 AM: a resident who reads the room and keeps it moving\, mixing R&B\, hi p-hop\, Latin\, pop and dance without letting the energy dip.\nA crowd tha t is actually sapphic: women\, femmes\, mascs\, non-binary folks and their people. This is the whole point of the night\, not a themed hour.\n21+ wi th ID: doors run late\, so come when you like\; the floor usually fills af ter 11.\nFull bar: Anthem’s bartenders are quick\, and drink specials ru n through the night.\nDowntown location: right on North Orange Avenue\, wa lkable from the rest of the Orlando nightlife district if you are making a night of it.\n\n\nAbout Sapphic Fridays\nSapphic Fridays grew out of a si mple gap in the Orlando scene: plenty of LGBTQ+ nightlife\, not nearly eno ugh of it aimed squarely at sapphic folks. Anthem gave the night a real Fr iday slot and a real sound system rather than a back room\, and DJ Nani So ul\, a fixture in Orlando’s queer DJ circuit\, has been the anchor since . The result is a recurring Friday that regulars treat as a standing plan and newcomers tend to walk into alone and leave with a group. Some Fridays bring a themed edition with guest performers\; the baseline is always the same: Nani Soul\, a packed floor\, and a room where sapphic guests are th e default rather than the exception. \n\nGetting here\nAnthem Orlando is a t 100 N Orange Ave\, Orlando\, FL 32801\, in the heart of downtown. Street parking on Orange Avenue and the surrounding blocks is free after 6 PM in most spots\, and the city garages on Central Boulevard and Library Lane a re a short walk away. Rideshare drop-off is easiest on Orange Avenue direc tly in front of the venue. Questions?

Throughout my jo urney\, I've had the privilege of learning from internationally respected teachers including **Wolf Murphy\, Buddy Helm\, Thobos Lubamba\, Kasa Panz u\, Hossam Ramzy\, Mamady Keïta**\, and many others whose generosity has shaped both my musicianship and my approach to teaching.\nMy training incl udes certification in **Remo HealthRhythms®** and **Pound Pro**\, and I w as honored to contribute as an editor to the *Encyclopedia of World Rhythm s*. I also served as Orlando's drum facilitator for the **Public Urban Rit ual Experiment (PURE)**\, helping bring community drumming experiences to public spaces.\nAs a performer\, I've co-founded **Thee Flammable Babylon Percussion Ensemble** and have had the opportunity to perform with artists and groups including **Chasing Jonah\, Tangent\, Red Shift Mantra\, The M anteis Project\, Mr. Richard\, Leo Aether\, Ka Malinalli\, Liz Nash**\, an d many others.\nWhile I'm grateful for the experiences and mentors I've ha d along the way\, I still consider myself a student first. Every rhythm ca rries a story\, every tradition has something to teach\, and there is alwa ys more to learn.\nMy classes emphasize authentic world rhythms\, solid te chnique\, listening\, creativity\, and—most importantly—the joy of mak ing music together. Whether you're picking up a drum for the first time or looking to expand your musical vocabulary\, you'll find a welcoming commu nity where learning is hands-on\, encouraging\, and rooted in respect for the cultures from which these rhythms come.\nI believe rhythm is one of hu manity's oldest languages. My goal isn't simply to teach patterns—it's t o help people discover the connection\, confidence\, and community that em erge when we make music together.

I came up through creative industries\, then spent twelve yea rs at what was the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission\, now the Orlando Economic Partnership\, learning what it actually takes to move a region. The slow\, structural work of building relationships that compound \, aligning incentives across sectors\, and creating the conditions where the private market does things it would not do alone. I have worked alongs ide many regional leaders over the years. What I know about myself is that I am not done. I have more to give\, more to build\, and a clearer pictur e than ever of what it is actually going to take. \n\n\n\n\nAnd what it i s going to take is not another event. Not another building with innovation in the name. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capi tal\, research to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regional strategy across cities and counties that compounds o ver time instead of resetting every grant cycle. The connective tissue tha t does not just celebrate the ecosystem but structurally advances it.  \n Innovate Orlando\, as it was\, was not that system. I say that with full ownership. I ran it. And what I learned running it is that this work can not live outside the larger regional economic development infrastructure. It has to be woven into it\, or it spends all of its energy trying to be heard by the rooms it needs to be inside.  \nThat is why this decision is not hard. It is overdue.  \nI wanted you to hear this directly from m e: Innovate Orlando is transitioning its mission and programs back to the Orlando Economic Partnership\, and I am returning with them as Vice Presid ent of Innovation\, effective March 9.  \nThis is about finding the right partnerships\, alignments\, and connected momentum to do this work at t he scale it deserves. Moving this work inside the Orlando Economic Partne rship means the mission is now backed by the full infrastructure of region al government\, industry\, academia\, and community partners working towar d the same goal. The platform is bigger. The reach is longer. The mission  can have the infrastructure to match its ambition.  \nTech Connect\, t he Orlando Tech Summit and Community Awards\, and the Orlando Tech Grant a ll make the move. What comes next is not another program or another event. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capital\, researc h to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regi onal strategy that compounds over time instead of resetting every grant cy cle.  \nThis is not a step away from the work. It is the work\, finally in the right kitchen. Orlando does not need more cheerleaders. It needs i nfrastructure that works.  \nNow scroll down. Because this week’s news is exactly the argument I have been making the entire time. A Central Flor ida AV company is heading to the FIFA World Cup. UCF just launched a $3.5 billion campaign\, its largest in history. An Orlando cybersecurity co mpany hosted a national conference in our own backyard. Space Florida open ed a $531M call for projects. And that is just the headline layer. The ful l picture is below\, and it will remind you why this region is not waiting to be discovered. It never was.  \n  \nSpace Coast and Aerospace  \nRe ad these four stories as phases of a single capital formation sequence. Pu blic infrastructure investment comes first and de-risks everything that fo llows. Private real estate comes second\, signaling long-term operational commitment. International capital comes third\, validating that the regi on can compete globally. NASA is the backdrop that makes all three moves l egible.  \nBlue Origin’s $11.5M land acquisition in Cocoa is the kind o f move a company makes when it has already decided the Space Coast is a lo ng-term operating address\, not a launch convenience. That decision compou nds against Space Florida’s 2026 Spaceport Improvement Program\, which j ust opened a call for projects backed by $531M in state investment\, esse ntially a public infrastructure commitment that de-risks the private capi tal following behind it. EOS-X Space’s acquisition of Space Perspective and its $650M+ combined valuation shows what happens when international ae rospace capital looks for a U.S. home and finds that this region has both the infrastructure and the talent density to justify the bet. NASA’s Art emis 2 timeline\, still targeting April\, is the backdrop to all of it. Wh en public investment\, private real estate\, and international capital are all moving in the same direction at the same time\, that is not momentum. That is a thesis becoming infrastructure.  \n\nBlue Origin snags 20-acr e Cocoa site for $11.5M as latest Brevard expansion \n\n\nEOS-X Space Exp ands U.S. Footprint after Space Perspective Deal \n\n\nNASA repairs Artem is 2 moon rocket in hopes of an April lunar launch \n\n\nSpace Florida’ s 2026 Call for Spaceport Projects\, $531M in state investment\, April 22 deadline \n\n  \nDefense\, Drones and Cybersecurity  \nRead these five stories as a demand signal map. The government signals what it needs. The private sector builds the product. The universities build the workforce. T hen the cycle repeats at a higher level. Every story in this section is a different point on that loop.  \nOrange County’s $7M drone-as-first-r esponder program is a local government buying what the private market has already proven works\, a direct downstream effect of companies and researc hers in this region building real-world drone operations for years. Centra l Florida’s role in the missile defense planning conversation runs direc tly through the modeling and simulation corridor\, home to more than 15\,0 00 simulation professionals working across systems that range from missile guidance and radar tracking to autonomous vehicle training and pilot read iness. That is the digital infrastructure missile defense architecture req uires before a physical system is ever built. The golden dome starts with a digital twin\, and this region is where those twins get made.   Threa tLocker’s Zero Trust World conference just made that demand signal visib le to thousands of security professionals gathered in Orlando this week\, and Embry-Riddle answered with both a new aviation cybersecurity certifica tion program and a drone-based research deployment on Lake Okeechobee. Tho se same hyperspectral imaging and autonomous sampling systems being used t o study algae blooms can be adapted for border surveillance\, maritime pat rol\, and environmental threat detection. Embry-Riddle is not just doing e nvironmental research. It is building the operational proof of concept for a capability the defense community is actively looking for. These stories are not parallel. They are sequential. The research produces the workforc e. The workforce builds the products. The products win the contracts. The contracts fund the next round of research.  \n\n$7M approved to fund firs t responder drones in Orange County \n\n\nCentral Florida’s role in Tru mp’s missile defense system \n\n\nThreatLocker Zero Trust World 2026\, Orlando\, March 4-6 \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Launches Aviation Cybersecurity Tr aining and Certification \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Researchers Develop Drone Tec h to Study Harmful Blue-Green Algae on Lake Okeechobee \n\n  \nHealth Te ch and Life Sciences  \nRead these three stories as a pipeline\, not a cl uster. The forum sets the agenda. The research fills it. The talent expor ts validate it globally and come back. That is how a health tech ecosyst em matures.  \nLake Nona’s Impact Forum argument\, that longevity is in separable from technology\, is easy to endorse on a panel stage. What make s it credible is the research pipeline sitting behind it. A UCF researcher developing a new therapy for diabetic neuropathy is working on a conditio n that affects more than 50% of people with diabetes and has no FDA-approv ed cure\, the kind of gap that attracts serious capital once clinical proo f of concept exists. A UCF doctoral graduate heading to Harvard Medical Sc hool to advance AI-driven clinical tools is exactly the talent export stor y that benchmarks a region’s research quality on a national stage\, even as it feels like a loss locally. Orlando’s health tech ecosystem is not built on one medical city with good architecture. It is built on a univer sity research pipeline that feeds institutions like Harvard\, and on appli ed science that is moving toward the clinic. Lake Nona is the platform. UC F is the engine underneath it.  \n\nLake Nona Impact Forum: There can’t be longevity without tech \n\n\nUCF Researcher Developing New Therapy to Treat Diabetic Neuropathy \n\n\nUCF Doctoral Grad Heads to Harvard Medic al School to Advance AI-Driven Clinical Tools \n\n  \nResearch\, Talent and University Innovation  \nIf you wanted to design a regional innovatio n ecosystem from scratch\, you would do something that looks very much lik e what Central Florida’s universities are doing right now. UCF’s $3.5 billion Go For Launch campaign is the largest fundraising effort in th e university’s history and it is essentially a capital formation eve nt for the ecosystem. The proceeds flow into research infrastructure\, sch olarships\, and facilities that the private sector will benefit from dir ectly. The $4M electron microscope is a small illustration of the larger l ogic: UCF is not just training students\, it is building shared research infrastructure that companies in the region can access without owning. Ro llins College’s addition of the Rick Goings Institute to its $200M Innov ation Triangle takes a different approach\, connecting liberal arts educat ion to entrepreneurship and economic development\, a bet that the skills g ap in the innovation economy is not purely technical.   \nAnd at Full Sa il University in Winter Park\, my alma mater\, student filmmakers just lan ded finalist spots in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films competition\, a preci se illustration of what happens when production-focused education puts stu dents on national stages before they graduate. These institutions are not competing. They are covering different parts of the same talent and rese arch formation problem\, and the aggregate investment this week runs well past $3.7 billion. That is not coincidence. That is a coordinated instit utional bet on this region’s trajectory.  \n\nUCF Launches $3.5 Billion Go For Launch Campaign \n\n\nUCF’s New $4M Electron Microscope Expands Research Access Across Campus\, Industry \n\n\nUCF Computer Science Prof essor Recognized for Contributions to Human-Computer Interaction \n\n\nNe w institute to join Rollins College’s $200M Innovation Triangle \n\n\nF ull Sail Filmmakers Named Finalists in Prestigious Nationwide Film Competi tion\, Coca-Cola Refreshing Films \n\n  \nStartups\, Capital and Busin ess Growth  \nRead these four stories as a capital stack\, not as isolate d company announcements. FirmPilot’s $22M Series A-1 in AI legal marke ting is venture capital flowing into vertical SaaS\, a signal that investo rs see Orlando-area companies as credible bets at growth-stage check sizes \, not just seed experiments. Kore.ai’s strategic growth investment fr om AllianceBernstein is institutional private credit entering the enterpri se AI story through an Orlando-headquartered company\, a different flavor of capital\, from a different part of the market\, validating a differen t stage of growth. RSG Security’s California expansion and Laser Photoni cs’ consolidation to Lake Mary are operational scaling stories\, not fun draising announcements. They represent companies that have already raise d and are now executing. Together\, the four companies span early growth\, scale-up\, and operational maturity. That is what a functioning startup e cosystem looks like when it is working: multiple companies at multiple sta ges\, attracting multiple types of capital\, and still calling Central Fl orida home.  \nOne gap this newsletter never fully closed is the capital formation story itself. Who is writing the checks in Orlando? What does the fund landscape actually look like? Where does a founder go when they need a Series A and do not want to fly to San Francisco to get it? That is the story I am most eager to tell from inside OEP\, where the relationshi ps between capital\, institutions\, and founders can be mapped and connect ed at regional scale.  \n\nFirmPilot Secures $22 Million Series A-1 \n\n \nKore.ai Secures Strategic Growth Investment from AllianceBernstein \n\n \nMatthew Sierra\, Founder of RSG Security\, Scales Orlando’s Fastest-Gr owing Private Security Firm as Company Expands Into California \n\n\nLase r Photonics Announces Strategic Consolidation of Manufacturing Footprint t o Lake Mary\, Florida \n\n  \nTech Infrastructure and Economic Developme nt  \nRead these three stories as a market validation sequence. First ten ant\, first mobility operator\, first AV deployment at global scale. Eac h one lowers the risk for everything that follows.  \nTerracon signing as the first tenant at the Lake Mary Technology Center is significant not fo r the lease itself but for what a first tenant signals to every tenant tha t follows. The anchor has arrived\, the risk has been absorbed\, the addr ess is legitimate. Freebee’s EV rideshare launch in Lake Nona works the same way: it is a Miami company choosing a Central Florida innovation di strict as its expansion market\, which tells you something about how that district is perceived by operators making real capital allocation decision s outside of Florida. Beep is the furthest along of the three. An Altamo nte Springs company that built the first permanent AV deployment by any U. S. city is now carrying 150\,000 kilometers of verified real-world opera tions into the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. That is a Central Florida compan y writing the operational playbook for autonomous mobility on a global sta ge. The infrastructure layer of this ecosystem is not background. It is th e proof of concept that makes everything else fundable.  \n\nLake Mary Te chnology Center lands engineering firm as first leaseholder \n\n\nMiami r ideshare company brings electric vehicles to Lake Nona \n\n\nBeep AV depl oyments launching in Altamonte Springs and Atlanta World Cup \n\n  \nIn Case You Missed It  \nSpaceX’s March 3 Starlink launch from Cape Canave ral produced a jellyfish atmospheric effect visible across Central Florida \, striking enough that it trended locally\, routine enough that it barely made the business press. That tension is itself a story: Florida’s spac eport is now launching so frequently that rocket plumes have become regi onal weather. NASA’s separate announcement of a major change to its long -term lunar architecture adds policy context to the Artemis 2 repair timel ine. Watch this space as the downstream implications for Kennedy and the S pace Coast supply chain come into focus. Team Orlando’s SERDP and ESTCP wildland fire safety tabletop exchange is the quietest story of the week\, but it is exactly the kind of cross-sector defense research collaboration that keeps the connective tissue of this community intact between the lar ger headlines. And an Orlando-area studio launches Everwind\, a sandbox s urvival RPG\, on Steam Early Access March 17\, a Central Florida game goin g live on one of the world’s largest gaming platforms.  \n\nSpaceX ‘j ellyfish’ launch recap: Live updates from Florida Starlink mission \n\n \nNASA Announces Major Change to Plans For Putting Humans on The Moon \n\ n\nSERDP and ESTCP host wildland safety\, fire PPE tabletop exchange \n\n \nSandbox Survival RPG Everwind launches on March 17 via Steam Early Acces s \n\n  \nThank You  \nThis newsletter was never the point. It was evid ence.  \nEvidence that this ecosystem had stories worth telling. Evidence that the founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors building in O rlando deserved the same attention as the regions that simply had better P R. Evidence that connective tissue\, the unglamorous\, unsponsored\, unsex y work of linking people and ideas and capital across a geography\, is the difference between a collection of companies and an actual ecosystem.  \ nThat evidence is now substantial.  \nDavid Adelson built the foundation . Ashley McMullan built it with me week after week. Our sponsors and board made the long bet. This community showed up and proved it was worth makin g.  \nThe next chapter of this work continues at the Orlando Economic Par tnership. Stay connected. Keep submitting. Keep showing up to the summits \, applying for the grants\, and making the introductions that move this e cosystem forward.

I came up through creative industries\, then spent twelve yea rs at what was the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission\, now the Orlando Economic Partnership\, learning what it actually takes to move a region. The slow\, structural work of building relationships that compound \, aligning incentives across sectors\, and creating the conditions where the private market does things it would not do alone. I have worked alongs ide many regional leaders over the years. What I know about myself is that I am not done. I have more to give\, more to build\, and a clearer pictur e than ever of what it is actually going to take. \n\n\n\n\nAnd what it i s going to take is not another event. Not another building with innovation in the name. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capi tal\, research to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regional strategy across cities and counties that compounds o ver time instead of resetting every grant cycle. The connective tissue tha t does not just celebrate the ecosystem but structurally advances it.  \n Innovate Orlando\, as it was\, was not that system. I say that with full ownership. I ran it. And what I learned running it is that this work can not live outside the larger regional economic development infrastructure. It has to be woven into it\, or it spends all of its energy trying to be heard by the rooms it needs to be inside.  \nThat is why this decision is not hard. It is overdue.  \nI wanted you to hear this directly from m e: Innovate Orlando is transitioning its mission and programs back to the Orlando Economic Partnership\, and I am returning with them as Vice Presid ent of Innovation\, effective March 9.  \nThis is about finding the right partnerships\, alignments\, and connected momentum to do this work at t he scale it deserves. Moving this work inside the Orlando Economic Partne rship means the mission is now backed by the full infrastructure of region al government\, industry\, academia\, and community partners working towar d the same goal. The platform is bigger. The reach is longer. The mission  can have the infrastructure to match its ambition.  \nTech Connect\, t he Orlando Tech Summit and Community Awards\, and the Orlando Tech Grant a ll make the move. What comes next is not another program or another event. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capital\, researc h to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regi onal strategy that compounds over time instead of resetting every grant cy cle.  \nThis is not a step away from the work. It is the work\, finally in the right kitchen. Orlando does not need more cheerleaders. It needs i nfrastructure that works.  \nNow scroll down. Because this week’s news is exactly the argument I have been making the entire time. A Central Flor ida AV company is heading to the FIFA World Cup. UCF just launched a $3.5 billion campaign\, its largest in history. An Orlando cybersecurity co mpany hosted a national conference in our own backyard. Space Florida open ed a $531M call for projects. And that is just the headline layer. The ful l picture is below\, and it will remind you why this region is not waiting to be discovered. It never was.  \n  \nSpace Coast and Aerospace  \nRe ad these four stories as phases of a single capital formation sequence. Pu blic infrastructure investment comes first and de-risks everything that fo llows. Private real estate comes second\, signaling long-term operational commitment. International capital comes third\, validating that the regi on can compete globally. NASA is the backdrop that makes all three moves l egible.  \nBlue Origin’s $11.5M land acquisition in Cocoa is the kind o f move a company makes when it has already decided the Space Coast is a lo ng-term operating address\, not a launch convenience. That decision compou nds against Space Florida’s 2026 Spaceport Improvement Program\, which j ust opened a call for projects backed by $531M in state investment\, esse ntially a public infrastructure commitment that de-risks the private capi tal following behind it. EOS-X Space’s acquisition of Space Perspective and its $650M+ combined valuation shows what happens when international ae rospace capital looks for a U.S. home and finds that this region has both the infrastructure and the talent density to justify the bet. NASA’s Art emis 2 timeline\, still targeting April\, is the backdrop to all of it. Wh en public investment\, private real estate\, and international capital are all moving in the same direction at the same time\, that is not momentum. That is a thesis becoming infrastructure.  \n\nBlue Origin snags 20-acr e Cocoa site for $11.5M as latest Brevard expansion \n\n\nEOS-X Space Exp ands U.S. Footprint after Space Perspective Deal \n\n\nNASA repairs Artem is 2 moon rocket in hopes of an April lunar launch \n\n\nSpace Florida’ s 2026 Call for Spaceport Projects\, $531M in state investment\, April 22 deadline \n\n  \nDefense\, Drones and Cybersecurity  \nRead these five stories as a demand signal map. The government signals what it needs. The private sector builds the product. The universities build the workforce. T hen the cycle repeats at a higher level. Every story in this section is a different point on that loop.  \nOrange County’s $7M drone-as-first-r esponder program is a local government buying what the private market has already proven works\, a direct downstream effect of companies and researc hers in this region building real-world drone operations for years. Centra l Florida’s role in the missile defense planning conversation runs direc tly through the modeling and simulation corridor\, home to more than 15\,0 00 simulation professionals working across systems that range from missile guidance and radar tracking to autonomous vehicle training and pilot read iness. That is the digital infrastructure missile defense architecture req uires before a physical system is ever built. The golden dome starts with a digital twin\, and this region is where those twins get made.   Threa tLocker’s Zero Trust World conference just made that demand signal visib le to thousands of security professionals gathered in Orlando this week\, and Embry-Riddle answered with both a new aviation cybersecurity certifica tion program and a drone-based research deployment on Lake Okeechobee. Tho se same hyperspectral imaging and autonomous sampling systems being used t o study algae blooms can be adapted for border surveillance\, maritime pat rol\, and environmental threat detection. Embry-Riddle is not just doing e nvironmental research. It is building the operational proof of concept for a capability the defense community is actively looking for. These stories are not parallel. They are sequential. The research produces the workforc e. The workforce builds the products. The products win the contracts. The contracts fund the next round of research.  \n\n$7M approved to fund firs t responder drones in Orange County \n\n\nCentral Florida’s role in Tru mp’s missile defense system \n\n\nThreatLocker Zero Trust World 2026\, Orlando\, March 4-6 \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Launches Aviation Cybersecurity Tr aining and Certification \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Researchers Develop Drone Tec h to Study Harmful Blue-Green Algae on Lake Okeechobee \n\n  \nHealth Te ch and Life Sciences  \nRead these three stories as a pipeline\, not a cl uster. The forum sets the agenda. The research fills it. The talent expor ts validate it globally and come back. That is how a health tech ecosyst em matures.  \nLake Nona’s Impact Forum argument\, that longevity is in separable from technology\, is easy to endorse on a panel stage. What make s it credible is the research pipeline sitting behind it. A UCF researcher developing a new therapy for diabetic neuropathy is working on a conditio n that affects more than 50% of people with diabetes and has no FDA-approv ed cure\, the kind of gap that attracts serious capital once clinical proo f of concept exists. A UCF doctoral graduate heading to Harvard Medical Sc hool to advance AI-driven clinical tools is exactly the talent export stor y that benchmarks a region’s research quality on a national stage\, even as it feels like a loss locally. Orlando’s health tech ecosystem is not built on one medical city with good architecture. It is built on a univer sity research pipeline that feeds institutions like Harvard\, and on appli ed science that is moving toward the clinic. Lake Nona is the platform. UC F is the engine underneath it.  \n\nLake Nona Impact Forum: There can’t be longevity without tech \n\n\nUCF Researcher Developing New Therapy to Treat Diabetic Neuropathy \n\n\nUCF Doctoral Grad Heads to Harvard Medic al School to Advance AI-Driven Clinical Tools \n\n  \nResearch\, Talent and University Innovation  \nIf you wanted to design a regional innovatio n ecosystem from scratch\, you would do something that looks very much lik e what Central Florida’s universities are doing right now. UCF’s $3.5 billion Go For Launch campaign is the largest fundraising effort in th e university’s history and it is essentially a capital formation eve nt for the ecosystem. The proceeds flow into research infrastructure\, sch olarships\, and facilities that the private sector will benefit from dir ectly. The $4M electron microscope is a small illustration of the larger l ogic: UCF is not just training students\, it is building shared research infrastructure that companies in the region can access without owning. Ro llins College’s addition of the Rick Goings Institute to its $200M Innov ation Triangle takes a different approach\, connecting liberal arts educat ion to entrepreneurship and economic development\, a bet that the skills g ap in the innovation economy is not purely technical.   \nAnd at Full Sa il University in Winter Park\, my alma mater\, student filmmakers just lan ded finalist spots in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films competition\, a preci se illustration of what happens when production-focused education puts stu dents on national stages before they graduate. These institutions are not competing. They are covering different parts of the same talent and rese arch formation problem\, and the aggregate investment this week runs well past $3.7 billion. That is not coincidence. That is a coordinated instit utional bet on this region’s trajectory.  \n\nUCF Launches $3.5 Billion Go For Launch Campaign \n\n\nUCF’s New $4M Electron Microscope Expands Research Access Across Campus\, Industry \n\n\nUCF Computer Science Prof essor Recognized for Contributions to Human-Computer Interaction \n\n\nNe w institute to join Rollins College’s $200M Innovation Triangle \n\n\nF ull Sail Filmmakers Named Finalists in Prestigious Nationwide Film Competi tion\, Coca-Cola Refreshing Films \n\n  \nStartups\, Capital and Busin ess Growth  \nRead these four stories as a capital stack\, not as isolate d company announcements. FirmPilot’s $22M Series A-1 in AI legal marke ting is venture capital flowing into vertical SaaS\, a signal that investo rs see Orlando-area companies as credible bets at growth-stage check sizes \, not just seed experiments. Kore.ai’s strategic growth investment fr om AllianceBernstein is institutional private credit entering the enterpri se AI story through an Orlando-headquartered company\, a different flavor of capital\, from a different part of the market\, validating a differen t stage of growth. RSG Security’s California expansion and Laser Photoni cs’ consolidation to Lake Mary are operational scaling stories\, not fun draising announcements. They represent companies that have already raise d and are now executing. Together\, the four companies span early growth\, scale-up\, and operational maturity. That is what a functioning startup e cosystem looks like when it is working: multiple companies at multiple sta ges\, attracting multiple types of capital\, and still calling Central Fl orida home.  \nOne gap this newsletter never fully closed is the capital formation story itself. Who is writing the checks in Orlando? What does the fund landscape actually look like? Where does a founder go when they need a Series A and do not want to fly to San Francisco to get it? That is the story I am most eager to tell from inside OEP\, where the relationshi ps between capital\, institutions\, and founders can be mapped and connect ed at regional scale.  \n\nFirmPilot Secures $22 Million Series A-1 \n\n \nKore.ai Secures Strategic Growth Investment from AllianceBernstein \n\n \nMatthew Sierra\, Founder of RSG Security\, Scales Orlando’s Fastest-Gr owing Private Security Firm as Company Expands Into California \n\n\nLase r Photonics Announces Strategic Consolidation of Manufacturing Footprint t o Lake Mary\, Florida \n\n  \nTech Infrastructure and Economic Developme nt  \nRead these three stories as a market validation sequence. First ten ant\, first mobility operator\, first AV deployment at global scale. Eac h one lowers the risk for everything that follows.  \nTerracon signing as the first tenant at the Lake Mary Technology Center is significant not fo r the lease itself but for what a first tenant signals to every tenant tha t follows. The anchor has arrived\, the risk has been absorbed\, the addr ess is legitimate. Freebee’s EV rideshare launch in Lake Nona works the same way: it is a Miami company choosing a Central Florida innovation di strict as its expansion market\, which tells you something about how that district is perceived by operators making real capital allocation decision s outside of Florida. Beep is the furthest along of the three. An Altamo nte Springs company that built the first permanent AV deployment by any U. S. city is now carrying 150\,000 kilometers of verified real-world opera tions into the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. That is a Central Florida compan y writing the operational playbook for autonomous mobility on a global sta ge. The infrastructure layer of this ecosystem is not background. It is th e proof of concept that makes everything else fundable.  \n\nLake Mary Te chnology Center lands engineering firm as first leaseholder \n\n\nMiami r ideshare company brings electric vehicles to Lake Nona \n\n\nBeep AV depl oyments launching in Altamonte Springs and Atlanta World Cup \n\n  \nIn Case You Missed It  \nSpaceX’s March 3 Starlink launch from Cape Canave ral produced a jellyfish atmospheric effect visible across Central Florida \, striking enough that it trended locally\, routine enough that it barely made the business press. That tension is itself a story: Florida’s spac eport is now launching so frequently that rocket plumes have become regi onal weather. NASA’s separate announcement of a major change to its long -term lunar architecture adds policy context to the Artemis 2 repair timel ine. Watch this space as the downstream implications for Kennedy and the S pace Coast supply chain come into focus. Team Orlando’s SERDP and ESTCP wildland fire safety tabletop exchange is the quietest story of the week\, but it is exactly the kind of cross-sector defense research collaboration that keeps the connective tissue of this community intact between the lar ger headlines. And an Orlando-area studio launches Everwind\, a sandbox s urvival RPG\, on Steam Early Access March 17\, a Central Florida game goin g live on one of the world’s largest gaming platforms.  \n\nSpaceX ‘j ellyfish’ launch recap: Live updates from Florida Starlink mission \n\n \nNASA Announces Major Change to Plans For Putting Humans on The Moon \n\ n\nSERDP and ESTCP host wildland safety\, fire PPE tabletop exchange \n\n \nSandbox Survival RPG Everwind launches on March 17 via Steam Early Acces s \n\n  \nThank You  \nThis newsletter was never the point. It was evid ence.  \nEvidence that this ecosystem had stories worth telling. Evidence that the founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors building in O rlando deserved the same attention as the regions that simply had better P R. Evidence that connective tissue\, the unglamorous\, unsponsored\, unsex y work of linking people and ideas and capital across a geography\, is the difference between a collection of companies and an actual ecosystem.  \ nThat evidence is now substantial.  \nDavid Adelson built the foundation . Ashley McMullan built it with me week after week. Our sponsors and board made the long bet.

I came up through creative industries\, then spent twelve yea rs at what was the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission\, now the Orlando Economic Partnership\, learning what it actually takes to move a region. The slow\, structural work of building relationships that compound \, aligning incentives across sectors\, and creating the conditions where the private market does things it would not do alone. I have worked alongs ide many regional leaders over the years. What I know about myself is that I am not done. I have more to give\, more to build\, and a clearer pictur e than ever of what it is actually going to take. \n\n\n\n\nAnd what it i s going to take is not another event. Not another building with innovation in the name. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capi tal\, research to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regional strategy across cities and counties that compounds o ver time instead of resetting every grant cycle. The connective tissue tha t does not just celebrate the ecosystem but structurally advances it.  \n Innovate Orlando\, as it was\, was not that system. I say that with full ownership. I ran it. And what I learned running it is that this work can not live outside the larger regional economic development infrastructure. It has to be woven into it\, or it spends all of its energy trying to be heard by the rooms it needs to be inside.  \nThat is why this decision is not hard. It is overdue.  \nI wanted you to hear this directly from m e: Innovate Orlando is transitioning its mission and programs back to the Orlando Economic Partnership\, and I am returning with them as Vice Presid ent of Innovation\, effective March 9.  \nThis is about finding the right partnerships\, alignments\, and connected momentum to do this work at t he scale it deserves. Moving this work inside the Orlando Economic Partne rship means the mission is now backed by the full infrastructure of region al government\, industry\, academia\, and community partners working towar d the same goal. The platform is bigger. The reach is longer. The mission  can have the infrastructure to match its ambition.  \nTech Connect\, t he Orlando Tech Summit and Community Awards\, and the Orlando Tech Grant a ll make the move. What comes next is not another program or another event. It is a repeatable system\, one that connects talent to capital\, researc h to commercialization\, founders to procurement\, and all of it to a regi onal strategy that compounds over time instead of resetting every grant cy cle.  \nThis is not a step away from the work. It is the work\, finally in the right kitchen. Orlando does not need more cheerleaders. It needs i nfrastructure that works.  \nNow scroll down. Because this week’s news is exactly the argument I have been making the entire time. A Central Flor ida AV company is heading to the FIFA World Cup. UCF just launched a $3.5 billion campaign\, its largest in history. An Orlando cybersecurity co mpany hosted a national conference in our own backyard. Space Florida open ed a $531M call for projects. And that is just the headline layer. The ful l picture is below\, and it will remind you why this region is not waiting to be discovered. It never was.  \n  \nSpace Coast and Aerospace  \nRe ad these four stories as phases of a single capital formation sequence. Pu blic infrastructure investment comes first and de-risks everything that fo llows. Private real estate comes second\, signaling long-term operational commitment. International capital comes third\, validating that the regi on can compete globally. NASA is the backdrop that makes all three moves l egible.  \nBlue Origin’s $11.5M land acquisition in Cocoa is the kind o f move a company makes when it has already decided the Space Coast is a lo ng-term operating address\, not a launch convenience. That decision compou nds against Space Florida’s 2026 Spaceport Improvement Program\, which j ust opened a call for projects backed by $531M in state investment\, esse ntially a public infrastructure commitment that de-risks the private capi tal following behind it. EOS-X Space’s acquisition of Space Perspective and its $650M+ combined valuation shows what happens when international ae rospace capital looks for a U.S. home and finds that this region has both the infrastructure and the talent density to justify the bet. NASA’s Art emis 2 timeline\, still targeting April\, is the backdrop to all of it. Wh en public investment\, private real estate\, and international capital are all moving in the same direction at the same time\, that is not momentum. That is a thesis becoming infrastructure.  \n\nBlue Origin snags 20-acr e Cocoa site for $11.5M as latest Brevard expansion \n\n\nEOS-X Space Exp ands U.S. Footprint after Space Perspective Deal \n\n\nNASA repairs Artem is 2 moon rocket in hopes of an April lunar launch \n\n\nSpace Florida’ s 2026 Call for Spaceport Projects\, $531M in state investment\, April 22 deadline \n\n  \nDefense\, Drones and Cybersecurity  \nRead these five stories as a demand signal map. The government signals what it needs. The private sector builds the product. The universities build the workforce. T hen the cycle repeats at a higher level. Every story in this section is a different point on that loop.  \nOrange County’s $7M drone-as-first-r esponder program is a local government buying what the private market has already proven works\, a direct downstream effect of companies and researc hers in this region building real-world drone operations for years. Centra l Florida’s role in the missile defense planning conversation runs direc tly through the modeling and simulation corridor\, home to more than 15\,0 00 simulation professionals working across systems that range from missile guidance and radar tracking to autonomous vehicle training and pilot read iness. That is the digital infrastructure missile defense architecture req uires before a physical system is ever built. The golden dome starts with a digital twin\, and this region is where those twins get made.   Threa tLocker’s Zero Trust World conference just made that demand signal visib le to thousands of security professionals gathered in Orlando this week\, and Embry-Riddle answered with both a new aviation cybersecurity certifica tion program and a drone-based research deployment on Lake Okeechobee. Tho se same hyperspectral imaging and autonomous sampling systems being used t o study algae blooms can be adapted for border surveillance\, maritime pat rol\, and environmental threat detection. Embry-Riddle is not just doing e nvironmental research. It is building the operational proof of concept for a capability the defense community is actively looking for. These stories are not parallel. They are sequential. The research produces the workforc e. The workforce builds the products. The products win the contracts. The contracts fund the next round of research.  \n\n$7M approved to fund firs t responder drones in Orange County \n\n\nCentral Florida’s role in Tru mp’s missile defense system \n\n\nThreatLocker Zero Trust World 2026\, Orlando\, March 4-6 \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Launches Aviation Cybersecurity Tr aining and Certification \n\n\nEmbry-Riddle Researchers Develop Drone Tec h to Study Harmful Blue-Green Algae on Lake Okeechobee \n\n  \nHealth Te ch and Life Sciences  \nRead these three stories as a pipeline\, not a cl uster. The forum sets the agenda. The research fills it. The talent expor ts validate it globally and come back. That is how a health tech ecosyst em matures.  \nLake Nona’s Impact Forum argument\, that longevity is in separable from technology\, is easy to endorse on a panel stage. What make s it credible is the research pipeline sitting behind it. A UCF researcher developing a new therapy for diabetic neuropathy is working on a conditio n that affects more than 50% of people with diabetes and has no FDA-approv ed cure\, the kind of gap that attracts serious capital once clinical proo f of concept exists. A UCF doctoral graduate heading to Harvard Medical Sc hool to advance AI-driven clinical tools is exactly the talent export stor y that benchmarks a region’s research quality on a national stage\, even as it feels like a loss locally. Orlando’s health tech ecosystem is not built on one medical city with good architecture. It is built on a univer sity research pipeline that feeds institutions like Harvard\, and on appli ed science that is moving toward the clinic. Lake Nona is the platform. UC F is the engine underneath it.  \n\nLake Nona Impact Forum: There can’t be longevity without tech \n\n\nUCF Researcher Developing New Therapy to Treat Diabetic Neuropathy \n\n\nUCF Doctoral Grad Heads to Harvard Medic al School to Advance AI-Driven Clinical Tools \n\n  \nResearch\, Talent and University Innovation  \nIf you wanted to design a regional innovatio n ecosystem from scratch\, you would do something that looks very much lik e what Central Florida’s universities are doing right now. UCF’s $3.5 billion Go For Launch campaign is the largest fundraising effort in th e university’s history and it is essentially a capital formation eve nt for the ecosystem. The proceeds flow into research infrastructure\, sch olarships\, and facilities that the private sector will benefit from dir ectly. The $4M electron microscope is a small illustration of the larger l ogic: UCF is not just training students\, it is building shared research infrastructure that companies in the region can access without owning. Ro llins College’s addition of the Rick Goings Institute to its $200M Innov ation Triangle takes a different approach\, connecting liberal arts educat ion to entrepreneurship and economic development\, a bet that the skills g ap in the innovation economy is not purely technical.   \nAnd at Full Sa il University in Winter Park\, my alma mater\, student filmmakers just lan ded finalist spots in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films competition\, a preci se illustration of what happens when production-focused education puts stu dents on national stages before they graduate. These institutions are not competing. They are covering different parts of the same talent and rese arch formation problem\, and the aggregate investment this week runs well past $3.7 billion. That is not coincidence. That is a coordinated instit utional bet on this region’s trajectory.  \n\nUCF Launches $3.5 Billion Go For Launch Campaign \n\n\nUCF’s New $4M Electron Microscope Expands Research Access Across Campus\, Industry \n\n\nUCF Computer Science Prof essor Recognized for Contributions to Human-Computer Interaction \n\n\nNe w institute to join Rollins College’s $200M Innovation Triangle \n\n\nF ull Sail Filmmakers Named Finalists in Prestigious Nationwide Film Competi tion\, Coca-Cola Refreshing Films \n\n  \nStartups\, Capital and Busin ess Growth  \nRead these four stories as a capital stack\, not as isolate d company announcements. FirmPilot’s $22M Series A-1 in AI legal marke ting is venture capital flowing into vertical SaaS\, a signal that investo rs see Orlando-area companies as credible bets at growth-stage check sizes \, not just seed experiments. Kore.ai’s strategic growth investment fr om AllianceBernstein is institutional private credit entering the enterpri se AI story through an Orlando-headquartered company\, a different flavor of capital\, from a different part of the market\, validating a differen t stage of growth. RSG Security’s California expansion and Laser Photoni cs’ consolidation to Lake Mary are operational scaling stories\, not fun draising announcements. They represent companies that have already raise d and are now executing. Together\, the four companies span early growth\, scale-up\, and operational maturity. That is what a functioning startup e cosystem looks like when it is working: multiple companies at multiple sta ges\, attracting multiple types of capital\, and still calling Central Fl orida home.  \nOne gap this newsletter never fully closed is the capital formation story itself. Who is writing the checks in Orlando? What does the fund landscape actually look like? Where does a founder go when they need a Series A and do not want to fly to San Francisco to get it? That is the story I am most eager to tell from inside OEP\, where the relationshi ps between capital\, institutions\, and founders can be mapped and connect ed at regional scale.  \n\nFirmPilot Secures $22 Million Series A-1 \n\n \nKore.ai Secures Strategic Growth Investment from AllianceBernstein \n\n \nMatthew Sierra\, Founder of RSG Security\, Scales Orlando’s Fastest-Gr owing Private Security Firm as Company Expands Into California \n\n\nLase r Photonics Announces Strategic Consolidation of Manufacturing Footprint t o Lake Mary\, Florida \n\n  \nTech Infrastructure and Economic Developme nt  \nRead these three stories as a market validation sequence. First ten ant\, first mobility operator\, first AV deployment at global scale. Eac h one lowers the risk for everything that follows.  \nTerracon signing as the first tenant at the Lake Mary Technology Center is significant not fo r the lease itself but for what a first tenant signals to every tenant tha t follows. The anchor has arrived\, the risk has been absorbed\, the addr ess is legitimate. Freebee’s EV rideshare launch in Lake Nona works the same way: it is a Miami company choosing a Central Florida innovation di strict as its expansion market\, which tells you something about how that district is perceived by operators making real capital allocation decision s outside of Florida. Beep is the furthest along of the three. An Altamo nte Springs company that built the first permanent AV deployment by any U. S. city is now carrying 150\,000 kilometers of verified real-world opera tions into the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. That is a Central Florida compan y writing the operational playbook for autonomous mobility on a global sta ge. The infrastructure layer of this ecosystem is not background. It is th e proof of concept that makes everything else fundable.  \n\nLake Mary Te chnology Center lands engineering firm as first leaseholder \n\n\nMiami r ideshare company brings electric vehicles to Lake Nona \n\n\nBeep AV depl oyments launching in Altamonte Springs and Atlanta World Cup \n\n  \nIn Case You Missed It  \nSpaceX’s March 3 Starlink launch from Cape Canave ral produced a jellyfish atmospheric effect visible across Central Florida \, striking enough that it trended locally\, routine enough that it barely made the business press. That tension is itself a story: Florida’s spac eport is now launching so frequently that rocket plumes have become regi onal weather. NASA’s separate announcement of a major change to its long -term lunar architecture adds policy context to the Artemis 2 repair timel ine. Watch this space as the downstream implications for Kennedy and the S pace Coast supply chain come into focus. Team Orlando’s SERDP and ESTCP wildland fire safety tabletop exchange is the quietest story of the week\, but it is exactly the kind of cross-sector defense research collaboration that keeps the connective tissue of this community intact between the lar ger headlines. And an Orlando-area studio launches Everwind\, a sandbox s urvival RPG\, on Steam Early Access March 17\, a Central Florida game goin g live on one of the world’s largest gaming platforms.  \n\nSpaceX ‘j ellyfish’ launch recap: Live updates from Florida Starlink mission \n\n \nNASA Announces Major Change to Plans For Putting Humans on The Moon \n\ n\nSERDP and ESTCP host wildland safety\, fire PPE tabletop exchange \n\n \nSandbox Survival RPG Everwind launches on March 17 via Steam Early Acces s \n\n  \nThank You  \nThis newsletter was never the point. It was evid ence.  \nEvidence that this ecosystem had stories worth telling. Evidence that the founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors building in O rlando deserved the same attention as the regions that simply had better P R. Evidence that connective tissue\, the unglamorous\, unsponsored\, unsex y work of linking people and ideas and capital across a geography\, is the difference between a collection of companies and an actual ecosystem.  \ nThat evidence is now substantial.  \nDavid Adelson built the foundation . Ashley McMullan built it with me week after week. Our sponsors and board made the long bet.
