Founder Tactics Podcast:

"The Accelerator Advantage From Startup to Scale: The Detect story and how FPL's 35 Mules helped fuel its growth"

Accelerators play a pivotal role in helping startups overcome challenges, access industry expertise, and unlock growth opportunities.

Join us for a conversation with Matt Sattler, Co-Founder & CEO of Detect, a Miami-based AI company transforming electrical grid inspections. Founded in 2024, Detect has raised $1.5M in venture capital, grown to 67 employees, and reached $5M in revenue. Detect is part of FPL's 35 Mules Innovation Hub current startup cohort.

Alongside Danielle Mousseau, Director of 35 Mules Innovation Hub, we'll explore their role in the ecosystem, how they've helped Detect's entrepreneurial journey and how mentorship, strategic partnerships, and accelerator resources help founders build and scale successful businesses.

The interview will be led by Julia Lucidi, founder and host of the Fort Lauderdale Tech Meetup.

Plan to join us! See you there.
