NEBA (Network of Entrepreneurs & Business Advocates) May luncheon featured Kimberly Price, the general manager of the Amazon Facility in Tallahassee. | NEBA
During the event, Kimberly talked about her growing community involvement, plans for the future, and the overall economic impact that Amazon has had on the region.
Key takeaways from Julia’s notes:
There are 10 miles of conveyance in the state-of-the-art facility and considered the most sophisticated in North America
She has to manage 100 team leaders and 4,000 robots to store/deliver on average 40 million units in a short period
Over $119 million was invested back into the local economy
Team CityClips looks forward to potential community collaborations with Kimberly and Team Amazon TLH2.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
SHARK TANK REUNION

NightCap evolved from a mere concept in Shirah Benarde’s head to being ordered in bulk quantities for various human trafficking advocate organizations, crisis centers, military bases, and more. | LI
Shirah and her brother, Michael, developed NightCap when she was only 16. She came up with the idea in a dream and built the first prototype of the product with a scrunchie and their mom’s pantyhose. They were awarded a patent on her innovative solution to the scourge that is drink-spiking and bootstrapped their way to Shark Tank, where they landed one of the fastest deals in the show’s history with Shark and business icon, Lori Grenier.
In just two years since starting the business, NightCap had reached nearly half a million followers on social media and done over $2 million in sales in 40 countries. | Fortune
They are Forbes 30 under 30 - Retail and Ecommerce 2024 | Forbes
Shirah will be moderating a panel at the Shark Tank Reunion on October 13th to 15th at JW Marriott, Tampa FL | For Invite-Only Guests (but still have the Registration page public?!)
