As we’ve been revisiting Impact Week 2025 over the last several days, one thing keeps standing out: the energy. The conversations, the learning, and the networking. It all created a space where ideas could grow and entrepreneurs could connect with the people who believe in their vision.

Tallahassee State College, The Institute for Nonprofit Innovation & Excellence, and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship came together to award $5,000 to local founders ready to take the next step in their business journeys. The pitch competition was a true celebration of innovation, resilience, and community spirit.

We’re excited to highlight our awardees once more:
🥇 Zachary Asarnow
🥈 Hugo Davies
🥉 Dorota Kossowska-Kühn, PhD
Runner-Up – Sai Devulapalli

Impact Week reminded us just how much potential lives in our region and how powerful it is when we bring people together to learn, build, and innovate. We'll see you at Impact Week 2026!
