Excellent program coming in hot for #veteran #entrepreneurs! Veterans Entrepreneurship Initiative (VEI) will launch its first cohort in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the group has received praise from veterans for their dedication to veterans. Gerald "Jay" Danforth

Let me know if I missed any! Congratulations to Kalogon (Timothy Balz) and eXeX of Orlando (Robert Masson MD, FACS FABNS) for landing on TIME's top inventions of 2024! So much more to come from these two companies, I'm sure! #technology #tech #awards #ThisisOrlando

Gotta love Kent Ward. This dude saw something that he wanted but that didn't exist and then went out and created it. If that's not a great Orlando story then I don't know what is. On Saturday, his Ongaku Overdrive concert, which featured bands that specialize in #videogames, went off and it was a good time. Our correspondent Giovan Santiago was there.

Some live music never hurts. Supporting Kent Ward and Ongaku Overdrive as several bands perform #videogame music! Gotta love Orlando. Big milestone/anniversary announcement coming tmro!

OTN Correspondent Giovan Santiago gives you at peek into a Downtown Orlando attraction that transformed a nightclub into a real spooky time. I appreciate Mitchell Sanchez's efforts here and his access! Sadly, you only have one day left to check it out but I'm excited to see what Mitchell and other local collaborators have in store as we move into holiday season.

Never a dull moment for Andrew Palmer at Design Launchers, LLC! The UCF Business Incubation Program client has spent a decade helping people realize their vision. Alan Byrd Carol Ann Dykes Logue Kelly Daubach, ACC, RD #technology #ThisIsOrlando Ashley McMullan

Congratulations to University of Central Florida, which on Thursday launched a new hypersonic research center that will bring a bunch of efforts that had been strewn across campus under one roof. Alexander N. Cartwright: "What we create here and across UCF will define the aerospace and defense industries for generations." Gotta love that swagger. #space #education #training SpaceX Space Florida Boeing Blue Origin

Man, you have to listen to the guy shred in the YouTube video embedded here. I'm excited to see the return of Kent Ward's Ongaku Overdrive, a concert series that features bands that specialize in #videogame music. This week, it's a spooky good time at a #Halloween-themed music concert so plenty of Castlevania to go around.

UPDATE! Veterans Entrepreneurship Initiative (VEI) has extended a deadline to apply for a veteran-led business accelerator to this Friday! If you or a business you know have veterans on the team and are in the healthcare space, don't miss out on this program, which will help the #business in so many ways. Personally, I have had the privilege of writing about dozens of accelerators and hundreds of businesses that have gone through them. Just about any company that navigates an accelerator comes out the other side so much better. Add in the hyper-focused nature of this one and it could boost it exponentially.

This is the weekend if you're a #startup enthusiast. Startup Weekend Orlando kicks off on Friday! The event is basically a laboratory for the rollercoaster entrepreneurial ride (can you tell I impressed myself with the headline?). Please share with your network and a huge thank you to Tatsiana Sokalava, MBA, SDS, Rajiv Menon, Adam Ben-Evi and Reese Kelsey for their time. #entrepreneurs #Orlando Orlando Tech Community
