Aegis was named one of the 2025 University of Florida’s Gator 100, recognizing the company as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the world led by University of Florida alumni. Alumni from UF have established and led some of the fastest-growing businesses globally, and the UF Alumni Association proudly recognizes these remarkable entrepreneurs through the Gator100 program. This prestigious initiative celebrates their entrepreneurial spirit and achievements by inviting honorees back to campus for an annual two-day unique experience. Aegis CEO, Blake Dowling, had this to say about the recognition. “For our growth in new markets like Gainesville, with our larger staff, and new HQ, to be acknowledged by UF is something special. It is an awesome year for Aegis Nation, and we are honored to be among these other 99 high performing businesses around the world. We owe this one to our clients who trust us with their technology every day, Go Gators”.
Why I joined the Chamber
“As Tallahassee’s oldest bakery, our company has lots of name recognition with a solid and loyal customer base. We advertise to make our business known to newcomers in the area, but we feel that our membership in the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce is a valuable part of doing business in Tallahassee. We have gained additional customers through our Chamber contacts and made many friends in the business community. Our membership in the Chamber has enabled us to meet and network with business people that we would not encounter in our usual day-to-day operations. This enables us to broaden our perspective on the nature of not only our business operations, but in being members of the general community of businesses that make up our city. In our many years of Chamber membership, we have been able to participate in conferences, workshops, seminars and other events that have helped our business to grow and improve through many connections with successful business people in all types of businesses. I would highly recommend membership in the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce regardless of business type whether retail, service or professional. Joining the Chamber will help you get involved and make connections that will improve your business and the community we live in.”
