Our Agenda for October 21st
5pm-6pm: Arrival, open networking with participants.
6pm: Our panel in October has yet to be fully announced, but here's a sneak peak below.
Amit Kadosh, Ex-CEO and Founder of Encourse, will be first on our panel. Amit specializes in consumer, AI, marketplaces and Fintech with +8 years of experience in GTM strategies and Business Development. A recent transplant to Naples from Texas, Amit is an alumni of Meta's (formerly Facebook) B2C growth accelerator and AWS Loft accelerator, also serving as a mentor & lecturer in NYU, The Technion and Kinneret Academic College.
Luca Caruso, Partner at HealthConnect Village Network, is a Digital Health expert and Talent Strategist with 15+ years across pharma, startups, and executive recruitment in the US and Europe. He has collaborated with the United Nations, top EU Business Schools, and corporates such as Novartis, Pfizer, and Deloitte. As co-founder of Health2Tech Miami and active advisor and partner to the HealthConnect Village Network, he helps shape healthcare innovation, impacting 50,000+ patients and 5,000+ physicians worldwide.
Finally, we will hear from George Milian, CEO and Founder of Steps After Life. An experienced executive with a career of two decades in strategic leadership, business development, and operational management, George has a proven track record driving business growth and profit. The idea for Steps After Life was born after George lost four family members in the span of about 14 months. He and his family were overwhelmed and confused about what to do during that difficult time. In 2017, George decided it was time to officially launch this tech-enabled business venture, aiming to help millions of families across America and the world.
The session is moderated by your host, the Naples Tech Meetup founder, Sebastien Leduc. Sebastien is a Tech Entrepreneur, Advisor & Investor, passionate about helping exceptional entrepreneurs grow their venture and achieve their most ambitious objectives.

Naples Tech Meetups: 3 simple rules
1. Entrepreneurs First
Our objective is to help foster entrepreneurship and innovation in SWFL. We believe in community and synergy, to help existing and aspiring entrepreneurs build great companies from SWFL to the world.
2. Be Generous
We all have our businesses and projects to promote, but arrive to this group with an open mind and an objective to give to the community, first. Then magic happens.
3. Southern Hospitality
Be hospitable the Southern way. That's something that attracted many of us to relocate to our beautiful paradise of SWFL. Let's keep ourselves courteous, respectful, constructive with each other.
Looking forward to being your hosts,
Seb & Naomi
