Testimonials

“The community of entrepreneurs that I've been a part of, honestly is something I look forward to. It's a place where you can just take it all off and talk about things in a way that maybe you don't get to talk about often. So the community that was very intentionally built by the leadership within Syracuse surge - creating that conversational space, having experts, having financial resources - but the community has been just bar none."

Arel Moodie

Syracuse Surge Accelerator Participant

“The accelerator has just been an opportunity to come together with founders that are like myself and just to know that I'm not the only one experiencing what I'm experiencing has been immensely helpful in how we've evolved.”

Dr. Brandy Young

Syracuse Surge Accelerator Participant

“We started out in The Tech Garden, and our success has enabled us to now support its evolution. Part of our vision has always been about taking care of the community. My wanting to give back and to show gratitude to CenteState, through our sponsorship in the new Innovation Hub, was a way to show that we appreciate what they're doing for the community. And our sponsorship gives us a chance to support the next entrepreneurs and say, ‘look where you have a chance to go.’"

Tony Baird

Innovation Hub Sponsor & Former tenant

“They're really helping with the transformation of Syracuse. Their focus is for your business to grow and they actually listen to what it is that you're saying and they use that information to help you."
