With nearly 2 decades of managerial experience in several different facets of health care, the Burgh2Bay team has several focuses: First, to grow existing companies and/or individuals through either operational oversight or through financial contributions. Both managing members have grown start-up companies in their previous work experiences and look to use their knowledge and contacts to do the same for others in the Tampa-Saint Pete area and beyond. Second, to help those individuals who have a great concept, but either don’t know how to launch, or need start-up capital to get it off the ground.
Their scope goes well-beyond health care and with the help of the highly talented individuals they have surrounded themselves with over the years, the Burgh2Bay team is excited to extend into other industries such as real estate, property management, hospitality, and anything else that is presented to them in the near future. Also, the managing members want to be the guys you’d have a beer or cigar with. There’s nothing better than loving what you do, and we want to extend that to all our future partners in business and in life.
