Local Tech / Entrepreneur / Founder Groups

As the title states, I am looking for local tech / entrepreneur / founder groups in Tampa. I’m co-owner of a small-scale software consulting business specializing in custom SaaS product development. I just moved to the area and am looking to get involved in the community.

I am hoping to find recurring groups focused on networking amongst founders and tech entrepreneurs rather than referral groups like BNI or one-off networking events. Open to any and all suggestions - thanks!

It’s almost lunch and I don’t see any posts about today’s elections. I’m not advocating a particular party. Just get out and vote. A lot of important local races are decided today regardless of party affiliation.

Just the title. I hope my fellow residents are getting out to vote.

Tips for cooling an under insulated rental?

Recently got into an old bungalow, and while it doesn't feel that warm in here the thermostat spikes to 78-80 almost every afternoon and takes the rest of the evening to cool off. I've put up thermal film, blinds, uv curtains, we have fans in every room. We're not sweating, it feels like the 74 we keep the ac set at, but I'm not looking forward to my next teco bill 😕

What else can we do to "cool" the home down? We asked the landlord about attic insulation cause our first bill here was almost as much as the service deposit. Landlord said contact Teco for their energy audit and they can touch it up... but all they did was check my appliances, and give me a list of contractors to update the insulation that I can't hire and doubt the landlord will.

Florida’s primary election is here. Here’s what to know before you vote

Floridians have their last chance to weigh in on a long list of 2026 primary races — races that could shape the daily lives of voters for years to come. Voters will have the chance to weigh in on who Democrats and Republicans will nominate to be the state’s 47th governor, who should go to the U.S. Senate and who should represent their area in Congress. Locally, voters will also weigh in on their picks for St. Petersburg mayor, City Council, County Commission and more. While most winning candidates will go on to November’s election, some races, including four primaries in the Tampa Bay area open to voters of any party, will be finalized Tuesday. Here’s what to know if you’re planning to vote: https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/elections/2026/08/18/florida-election-day-how-to-vote-tampa-st-pete-2026/

Why must Tampa close every street?

What is Tampas infatuation with closing down streets for months before they actually ever end up fixing them. Over here in Hyde Park it’s been constant closed roads for over a year now. Most of the time these roads will be closed months before they even do anything. Then when they do finally get started they finish in less than a week. It’s especially annoying when there are so many one ways. Please just stop closing them if you don’t plan on doing anything for months. It makes no sense I’m losing it over here 😭

Mattress and Other Items Removal Needed

We have a mattress that needs dumping and a desk chair. We live in an apartment complex, so putting it in the curb is out of the question. Our IDs also don’t have our Tampa address on them, yet.

We also have 2 couches we’re going to try and have Salvation Army take them or offer them for super cheap on FB marketplace, but may need removal if that doesn’t work.

Any recommendations that are not super pricey?

Two dogs found on N. Armenia Ave. and Cimino Ave.

Hello people of the Reddit world. My brother found these two cute dogs on his way to work. He found them on the corner of the N. Armenia and Cimino. If anyone has any information please contact the humane society of the Tampa bay. They are just down the road from where the two dogs were found. They are not microchipped. Please help us find good home for both. They seem to be very protective of each other. So please don’t just adopt one and leave the other. We would adopt them ourselves, but we just lost our first dog to old age. I don’t think we are ready to adopt any new dogs soon, otherwise, we would have kept them. Please please please reach out to the humane society of Tampa bay.
