A good business ideas is solid and good when it can be validated using this or similar framework: http://bit.ly/2Vtm7z My background is in corporate tech PR http://thepengroup.com and I talked to a number of business and academic leaders in this community about the future of tech in South Florida. I don't think that an incubator would solve the problem. We need to be more serious about generating and validating our ideas. Good ideas can be executed in a garage, at home, on the street. And angel support is always available for great ideas. Validate your ideas using this frame work: http://bit.ly/2Vtm7z and I will personally help you to present them to Beacon Council http://www.beaconcouncil.com or at The Launch Pad of UM http://www.thelaunchpad.org/ or FIU Global Entrepreneurship Center http://www.entrepreneurship.fiu.edu/ and, most importantly, I will help you to seek mentors who succeeded in Silicon Valley at similar businesses. Once you start validating your ideas using this framework: http://bit.ly/2Vtm7z you will, hopefully, be on the your way to a great idea. If you are serious, I am here to help. Best way to reach me is at @mylifeandart or come and I am at the most meet-ups.

Plus some extra features. Ill specify: #1, Highlight/profile local startups in a centralized location (launch WP-blog) <- this will give us a tool from promotion of our talent, becoming the first platform for a local startup to receive press and recognition. #2. Host startup specific events: Networking / DemoDay / 3-min pitch #4. Work together with entrepreneurship centers from the universities. CEI from FIU for example. I can help you with all 3, I know its easy to give ideas/criticism but harder to implement.

We can't always depend on out-of-state transplants and self-taught engineers to keep feeding the movement. We need to start growing our own techies. Where have UM, FIU, Nova, and MDC been during all this? Who's teaching the engineering and computer science courses around here? Support from local schools.

Having new faces show up is critical, and that's up to us. Raising awareness is totally grassroots and it starts with the business community, our friends and clients. Other cities have done it...we have the talent pool, no reason we can't! Great piece, thanks :) It’s slowly growing Brian, and I agree that there needs to be a strong local push, at a steady pace.
