As Founder and President of Orlando Venture Capital which had a false start only 4 months prior to when the resilience of the United States’ was tested on 9/11. “The second half” of the goal of a $500,000 angel round was verbally committed as such by a founder of an NASDAQ listed company. The “first half” then needed to be found. While attending a Florida Venture Forum meeting and founder of a NYSE traded company hands me his business card after a cocktail round pitch before dinner, “please contact me… I want to hear more of your dream”. Less than five days later in a palacios oceanfront home they said had you come to me one month ago we would mark up a term sheet, but we live in a different world now (less than three weeks after 9/11)

Highlights include:

Founding staff with the National Collegiate Sports Festival which for three years provided a national championship in 21 intramural athletics for both men and women. Four weeks of winners were returned to Daytona Beach following fall all expenses paid to compete in the finals. Almost changed college sports. The NCSF team was successful in targeting, and then, receiving front page sectional color photo coverage in USAToday and Sports Inc. We once traveled to Colorado Springs for a meeting with United States Olympic Committee during the World Cycling Championships. And, you have not lived until you've been sued by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (which we were).
Founding board member, and founding staff member, of a 501c3 not-for-profit that was able to leverage a initial $4,000,000 pilor loan from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation to gain an additional commitment from a regional bank based in Atlanta of $24,000,000. While Gerry has had no connection with the entity for over twenty years the Affordable Housing Institute Inc. continues its great work today.
Founder and President of Orlando Venture Capital, Inc. whose ultimate goal was the establishment of investment funds of between $100,00,000 and $200,000,000 USD focused on next generation photonics technologies emerging from central Florida's world reknown cluster in research and production. “The second half” of a $500,000 angel round was verbally committed by a founder of an NASDAQ listed company known to me in Orlando, but only if I found the “first half”. While attending a Florida Venture Forum meeting the founder of a NYSE traded company hands me their business card after a cocktail round pitch before dinner, “please contact me… I want to hear more about your dream”. Less than five days later in a palacios oceanfront home in Palm Beach after a three hour meeting was told "if you had come to me one month ago (9/11 was eleven days prior to meeting)... we would print out, and mark-up, a term sheet, but we live in a much different world now." A false start 4 months prior to 9/11, but some of my best work. Then, the world was ramping up for war and OVC evolved into a consultancy. First client - 150yo manufacturing company to identify, and then expand, into supplying supercritical CO2 for wafer cleaning in the semiconductor industry.
