We are excited to introduce the graduates of Embarc Collective's Freelancer Program, businesses that understand how best to work with and support tech and tech-enabled startups. Seven Tampa Bay-based creative freelancers participated in the inaugural program, which helps Tampa Bay-based freelance talent learn the best ways to engage with startups across the world.
