​About Tech Transplant

​The best startup ecosystems don’t happen by accident—they’re built through relationships.

​The Tech Transplant Breakfast Series exists to make Tampa Bay feel smaller by helping newcomers quickly find community, discover opportunities, and build lasting connections across the region’s innovation ecosystem.

​Hosted every other month and alternating between Embarc Collective in Downtown Tampa and spARK Labs in St. Petersburg, the series reflects a shared commitment to building one connected startup ecosystem across the Tampa Bay region. By bringing together entrepreneurs, tech professionals, investors, and ecosystem partners from both sides of the bay, we’re making it easier to build meaningful relationships and navigate the resources available throughout our community.

​We believe that when great people choose Tampa Bay, they shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
