Florida Venture Forum is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization that is supported locally by private companies, service providers, venture capitalists and academic institutions. The goal of the Florida Venture Forum is to help ensure the success of entrepreneurial ventures by offering expert counsel, educational advice and managerial assistance. The Florida Venture Forum also provides programs on a statewide basis attended by venture capitalists, investors, bankers, corporate executives, accountants, lawyers and entrepreneurs.
Corporate history
A group of business leaders and academicians met in the spring of 1984 to accelerate the successful development of the entrepreneurial community in the State of Florida. A survey revealed that most entrepreneurs had sound technical expertise but many needed assistance in the areas of management, marketing and finance. The result of that meeting was an advisory and support program called The Florida Venture Forum.
Entrepreneurial programs
Educational programs provide in-depth information on topics such as raising debt and equity capital, human resources, finance, management, marketing and research and development. Panelists for these instructional presentations consist of high ranking executives who share their experiences with the audience. The presenters provide candid management and financial advice as well as hands-on technical assistance.
In addition to regularly scheduled programs, since 1992, the Florida Venture Forum has hosted the annual Florida Venture Capital Conference. The purpose of the conference, held every year in January/February, is to showcase high growth companies looking for equity financing before a nationwide audience of venture capitalists and investment bankers.

LUMEnergi is an American company that uses dimming electronic ballast and associated control technologies to create lighting control systems for commercial and industrial buildings. Dimming and control technologies are used to curb energy use and save electricity spent on lights.
History
The company is based in Newark, California and is privately-held and venture-funded by Noventi Ventures and Low Carbon Accelerator Limited. It partners with OEMs to offer distributors, ESCOs, contractors, lighting architects and building owners a portfolio of lighting systems.
Products and services
LUMEnergi products enable lighting control schemes that light areas only when they are needed to minimize energy use.
iB-100 Intelligent Dimming Ballast
LUMEnergi’s iB-100 dimmable ballast enables energy savings through dimming and advanced lighting controls. Its patent-pending control technology integrates with LUMEnergi’s Lighting Management and Control System (LMCS) to provide lighting management and energy savings.
The iB-100 ballast is compatible with LMCS and other manufacturers' control systems. It can operate in either industry-standard low voltage 0-10VDC or Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) control modes, and takes a wide-range of electrical inputs, ranging from 120V to 277V and 48VDC for emergency lighting applications. The iB-100 ballast can also address one to three lamp deployments of T8 lamps with a single product model.

Verayo is a provider of security and authentication solutions based on technology. PUF technology was invented and first implemented at MIT by Professor Srini Devadas and his team.
Since its founding in Silicon Valley in 2005, Verayo has designed, built and tested ICs using PUFs, as well as established a growing body of additional IP and substantive expertise beyond the initial IP that Verayo licensed exclusively from MIT.
In addition to developing commercial products, the company is working on projects for various U.S. Defense Agencies.
History
Verayo’s core PUF technology is based on work at MIT by Professor Srini Devadas and his team. In 2005, Dr. Devadas and Tom Ziola, formerly with Microsoft, formed PUFCO. Later renamed Verayo, PUFCO exclusively licensed MIT’s rights in the core technology.
Verayo is funded by Khosla Ventures and has assembled an experienced Advisory Board drawn from the semiconductor and security industries. Verayo has relationships with US Department of Defense agencies and has received multiple contract awards to further develop systems using PUF technology.
PUF Technology
technology is a silicon technology that renders RFID chips unclonable. PUFs are tiny electrical circuits which are fabricated identically on all IC chips. Each chip then responds uniquely to the given input or “challenge”, a random 64-bit or longer number, creating an individual “fingerprint” (a second 64-bit or longer number) for each silicon chip. In the simplest implementation, PUF technology can make each chip unique and unclonable, as well as provide chip-unique characteristics to authenticate each chip.
