Our story
From a backyard to an NFL stadium
Tampa Entrepreneurs started in March 2023 with just 100 people at an Airbnb and one simple belief: Tampa deserved more than another stale networking event.
Since then, we’ve hosted 15+ experiences, from rooftop socials and aviation hangars to The Stadium Series at Raymond James Stadium, bringing together over 1,600 attendees.
What started as a simple idea has grown into a community of 20,000+ entrepreneurs, built around genuine relationships, shared ambition, and opportunities that go far beyond business.
And we’re just getting started.

“Our mission has always been simple: To build a community not just to do business with, but to do life with.”
Growing up, I saw firsthand the damage a toxic environment can cause. Getting into the right rooms changed my life, opening doors to e-commerce, managing millions in ad spend, and building my own marketing agency.
After years of traveling to other cities to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, I realized something was missing back home.
That realization inspired Tampa Entrepreneurs, built on the belief that the people we surround ourselves with shape who we become, both personally and professionally.
