Do you have a question you would like to ask the Mayor? We will be taking questions starting now until the luncheon! Send your questions to news@tampachamber.com or tweet @Tampa_Chamber using #FacetheChamber. We look forward to hearing from you!

Startup Scholars Feature: KeriCure
KeriCure Inc. is a woman-owned company founded in 2011 in the state of Florida. Since then, we have grown to 4 employees and a team of 8 student interns, all working towards the development of novel, effective wound care products.
Our strong relationship with the University of South Florida provides KeriCure with an exceptional opportunity to develop and mature as we continue on our steady growth course. KeriCure was formed to bring a novel polymer technology to market in the form of highly effective topical wound care products. Founder Kerriann Greenhalgh has driven this mission since the onset of KeriCure. Motivated to provide effective topical wound coverage to users, Dr. Greenhalgh was personally affected by inadequate wound care available to consumers and has made it her goal to provide advanced wound care to patients, military AND the everyday consumer.
KeriCure Skin Protectant dries quickly to provide a no-sting, protective shield that is flexible and water proof while allowing your skin to breathe. It is formulated with HydroShieldTMTechnology to withstand vigorous activities including bathing and swimming, yet is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
* No-sting
* Prevents infection
* Elastic and breathable
* Waterproof and Sweatproof
* Great for kids and moms on-the-go
* Comes off naturally after wound heals
