"As Trendy Entertainment grew from six to more than 20 employees in two years, the video-game maker moved out of the row of small offices it occupied on the second floor of Sun Center East into triple the space with larger rooms on the third floor of the old Opera House nearby.
That left room in the Sun Center for the new software company SharpSpring to move into the larger corner office down the hall from the small office occupied by Chaologix President Louis Kessler.
Across the street in Union Street Station, the online music service Grooveshark recently moved from a series of disconnected offices into a more consolidated space on the other side of the building. That left room for Founders Pad, a shared space for technology startup companies started this spring by landlord Ken McGurn.
Long before the University of Florida's Innovation Hub business incubator opened last year, downtown Gainesville has served as an unofficial incubator for tech startups with companies growing out of their office space and new companies moving in behind them.
It started slowly in the mid-1990s and picked up when RTI Biologics founders set up tech investment company Synogen and its portfolio companies in the Sun Center in 2003."
