Advisory Board Sponsorship Campaign

As a valued GrowFL partner, we need your valuable help!

The planning process for GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch (FLCTW) is at a critical juncture; therefore I am reaching out to you today in this special message.

Thanks to 16 Advisory Board members (and one Past FLCTW Honoree), we have raised 49 percent of the $196,000 needed to stage the quality event we all want to be a part of. We have work to do, and you are a key to success.

With that in mind, we need your help right now to do just two things: 

  1. If you haven’t committed to being an FLCTW sponsor, please help us by becoming an integral part of this exciting event!  I can tell you from personal experience, you will be glad you did.  Click here to view the FLCTW Sponsorship Guide. If you have questions or wish to become a sponsor, please contact Mike Bobroff at [email protected] or 407.765.1919.
  2. Secondly, we would like you to invite at least one industry connection from within your many connections; business leaders or others who serve second-stage companies, to join with us.  Then, enthusiastically invite them to become an FLCTW sponsor for this years’ event.  After all, it’s going to be the “talk of the town.”
