Partner With Us
Put your brand in the room.
Sponsor curated networking and social events across Southwest Florida and get in front of the founders, operators and young professionals building the 239.
Who is in the room
The people you want to meet.
Every 239 Collective event brings together founders, business owners, executives, investors, creatives and young professionals from Fort Myers, Naples, Estero, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral and Marco Island.
Rooms are curated and balanced across industries, so partners reach decision-makers in a setting where people are relaxed, social and open to new connections, not scrolling past an ad.
