## Resource

Florida's startup ecosystem depends on more than capital; it needs angel investors who can move quickly, share experience and help founders avoid mistakes early. In this episode of "The Innovation Imperative," Patrick Driscoll and Partner Edward Sarnowski speak with Timothy Cartwright about Tamiami Angel Funds, its member-led investment model and the role organized syndicates play in strengthening early-stage companies across the Sunshine State. Mr. Cartwright also details his career path from building and selling businesses in Chicago to moving to Florida, joining and leading the Gulf Coast Venture Forum, turning a volunteer network into what became Tamiami Angel Funds and co-founding Fifth Avenue Family Office.
