For this episode, Logan arranged an interview with a key player in Tampa\\u2019s tech community during his visit during CommerceLex\'s Leadership Visit. Forbes recently named Tampa the #1 Emerging Tech Ecosystem and we wanted to dig into why that is.

Lakshmi Shenoy is the CEO of Embarc Collective, a Tampa-based organization that supports the city\\u2019s entrepreneurs by curating the experiences, resources, and environment that helps forward-thinking founders and their teams thrive. Embarc believes that each company is different and measures success in different ways, and therefore works with companies to provide individualized support based on their defined milestones. Prior to leading Embarc, Lakshmi attended University of Chicago and Harvard Business School, and worked to build Chicago\\u2019s startup ecosystem through her role at 1871. Our conversation covers the approach that Embarc takes to support Tampa\\u2019s entrepreneurs, the catalysts that have allowed their ecosystem to thrive, and their areas of focus as they look to establish Tampa as a major player in America\\u2019s tech scene.
