We are incredibly honored to host the Veterans Florida Entrepreneurship Program at Florida Gulf Coast University in partnership with Veterans Florida and support veterans as they continue building their next chapter through entrepreneurship.

This photo captures participants, supporters, and community members from our recent Growth Cohort Pitch Showcase as we celebrated the hard work of these veteran entrepreneurs.

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice made possible the freedoms we live, learn, and build under every day.

As we gather with family and friends, may we take a moment to reflect with gratitude and respect.

Two pizzas.
10,000 Bitcoin.
The first real world transaction using cryptocurrency.

What seemed like a simple purchase became a defining moment in digital currency history.

Bitcoin Pizza Day reminds us that innovation starts with experimentation. Someone had to believe it had value before the world did.

Every breakthrough begins with a first transaction.
