THE AGENDA: Tuesday, May 13th

Join the Fort Lauderdale Tech Meetup on Tuesday, May 13th for a candid conversation about the messy middle of startup success. We’re sitting down with Carlos Diaz, Co-founder of Entic — a PropTech startup and Endeavor Entrepreneur that raised $22M, became one of Blackstone’s first early-stage investments, and was backed by FPL’s NextEra Energy. With a $1.2M ARR subscription model and a fast-growing team, he checked all the boxes of a “successful” founder. And then… he walked away. Hear how chasing the fundraising race led to a powerful realization about purpose, priorities, and what success really looks like. This is the stuff founders don’t talk about enough — and you’ll want to be in the room for it.
