About Brian Kornfeld

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.” - Thomas EdisonI believe we can unlock this reality by removing the greatest roadblock of all, fear, along with providing supportive communities that build strong connection. I wake up everyday to break entrepreneurs free from fear by providing them with the encouragement, guidance, and resourcefulness to achieve their dreams. My Present FocusThis purpose motivated me to immerse myself in the Florida innovation community, forming abundant relationships with those who have visions similar to mine. This led me to co-founding Synapse, an organization who will make a profound impact on the Floridian ecosystem. This 501c3 nonprofit organization has opened a whirlwind of opportunities for me as we continue to cross barriers in shaping Florida\'s future for jobs, talent, capital, and business. Who I Do It ForI do what I do to help people with potential. I do what I do because I see something special in the state of Florida that outsiders don’t, and I believe I can be just a small piece to making it something greater than it already is.
