Tampa Bay Innovation Center Announces B2B Accelerator Innovation Showcase Online Event

April 7, 2021 by Post

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – (April 5, 2021) – Tampa Bay Innovation Center (TBIC), a business incubator and coworking entrepreneurial center, will hold an Innovation Showcase for its third Accelerator cohort.  The virtual event will be held on Wednesday, April 28th from 1:30 to 3:00 pm EST.

The Pinellas County-based accelerator program is mentor-driven and founder-focused.  “One of the goals of this program is to challenge the founders’ understanding of a market that they thought they already understood.” said Ken Evans, managing director. “User research and market validation is a never-ending series of experiments, and successful founders pursue this with a passion.”

Our guest panelists for the event include: Joy Randels, founder & CEO, New Market Partners; Mark Swanson, managing director, Lane Five Ventures; and Travis Milks, managing partner, Topmark Partners.

The five B2B Accelerator graduates presenting at the Showcase include:

BlockSpaces (Seminole, Fl.) – building a middleware platform that will enable legacy IT infrastructure to leverage the decentralized features of blockchain technology.

Code 1 Medical Devices (St. Petersburg, Fl.) – a new and innovative medical airway device for upper endoscopy procedures.

Cope Notes (Tampa, Fl.) – a service for encouraging mindfulness and well-being through daily text messages.

Neuron Education (Boston, Ma.) – an online marketplace delivering peace of mind for busy parents by connecting them with experienced tutors and virtual caregivers.

RB Technologies (Tampa, Fl.) – supply chain software for the nutritional supplements and food industries that delivers greater quality control and transparency by leveraging blockchain technology to track ingredients and manufacturing processes.
