What's the startup scene like in Tallahassee?

Nonexistent. I had to get my startup capital (around $4.5 mil) from Orlando, Indiana, Ohio, Jacksonville and a little bit from Panama City. FSU’s support is terrible compared to schools like UCF when it comes to helping its alumni. I can’t speak lower of the “help” available for startups in town. I bootstrapped everything and used my own sweat equity to bring in what was needed.

It's the Silicon Valley of Leon County.

Are you connected to City Hall? No. No help for you.

I don't need startup capital of $4.5 million but if someone wants to give it to me I promise to not say no to them.

Pretty much. Tallahassee politics and business are as inbred as you can get. If you’re not an already existing family member then screw off.

Sad. Tally really could have been something if it wasn't so bassackwards. A couple decades ago we had one of the nation's first free public internets and two large universities in a state with a booming population.

Instead it is still that same old town. Playing small games and winning small prizes.

Regardless, here's hoping for a brighter future for Tally. Couldn't find much out there but this seems to be a place to start. https://twitter.com/startuptlh
