It’s great to be a Florida Gator.

One of the benefits of living in Gainesville is that you have a great community of really passionate people surrounding you. One of the proofs of this is that I have just been invited to be a part of the “Chomproll”. Dan Rua of Inflexion Ventures and the fantastic VC blog, Florida Venture Blog, has set up a search engine where you can find information specifically about the Gators, Gainesville, Entrepreneurship and Business in the area.

If you ever wanted to know more about Gainesville, I suggest heading over to FVB and taking a look.
