Most innovation programs ask your team to go hunting for startups. We flip it. In the HyLo Inno reverse pitch, you put a real problem on the table and the ecosystem brings you the people who can solve it. Book a meeting to scope what that looks like for your organization.
The Map tells us where the supply actually is for your problem.
That position compounds.
What's emerging in Tampa Bay, before it's obvious.
This is a rapid R&D engagement, not a retainer. You bring a defined problem, we match you with builders from the Tampa Bay ecosystem, and you walk away with a working proof of concept or a scoped solution within weeks — at hackathon-scale investment. If it works, you hire. If you want to go further, the relationship is already built.
Engagements are structured as focused sprints — days to weeks, not quarters. You know exactly what you're buying before the work starts.
The people in the room are building in Tampa Bay right now. They move fast because they have to. That speed is the point.
A sprint is the fastest way to know if a solution is viable and if a team can execute. No six-month procurement process to find that out.
The sprint is the introduction. If the output is strong, you have everything you need to bring that team on for a full project — with proof already in hand.
The reverse pitch produces a curated match between your problem and builders who can actually solve it. From that room, sprint engagements have led to:
A working prototype, AI model, or scoped build — delivered within the sprint window and ready for internal evaluation.
You've seen how they work under pressure, with your actual problem. That's worth more than any reference check.
If the sprint output is strong, you have the evidence to take it to procurement — and the relationship to move quickly when you do.
A reputation as the corporate that brought a real problem to the room. That position compounds in ways a logo placement never does.
The reverse pitch is how serious corporates plug into Tampa Bay innovation on purpose.
Book the call and we'll walk through your problem, your goals, and the fit.
The reverse pitch only works when you bring the problem you'd actually put resources against — not the safe version.
Here's what you sent us. We'll reach out to schedule the scoping call.
