Coco provides online application development and internet marketing to business and non-profit clients as well as application development targeting technology transfer to government agencies (small business innovation research)

Established in 1994, Coco's expertise grew out of a passion for new media design toward a focus on browser-based information technology development. The 3 divisions at Coco are commercial venture, government research and internet marketing.

Venture Technology Defined:
"Venture Technology" and "Venture Technologist" is analogous to Venture Capital and Venture Capitalist, whereas a VC primarily provides support in the form of capital investment; a VT primarily provides technological development. The equity, income and exit strategy are similar in both VC and VT. The Coco team partners with clients and is strongly vested in clients' success.

Jay is a frequent public speaker to business & professional associations on web development, e-commerce & internet marketing strategy. He established the Coco Cares grant program in an effort to enhance emerging business development in the Pensacola area. Coco grants support selected entrepreneurs in Northwest Florida that are in need of internet marketing support yet cannot afford professional services.
