Strategic Alliance Sets New Standard for Economic Intelligence and Venture Growth in South Florida
In a move poised to reshape the region’s economic and investment landscape, Paladin Global Partners has announced a strategic alliance with Gold Coast Angel Investors and Regional Economic Consulting (REC).
This newly formed powerhouse brings together best-in-class expertise in operational strategy, economic forecasting, and venture capital acceleration—establishing a transformative force in business consulting and economic impact assessment.
A High-Impact Collaborative Vision
The alliance merges three distinct strengths:
Paladin Global Partners — seasoned leaders in strategic operations and business development
Gold Coast Angel Investors — elite early-stage venture capital guidance and deal flow
Regional Economic Consulting (REC) — nationally respected economic modeling, forecasting, and data-driven policy insight
Together, the group will deliver next-level solutions for public and private clients—from advanced investment strategy and regional economic forecasting to capital formation and high-growth market acceleration.
Leadership Perspectives on the Partnership
“This partnership is about fusing deep economic intelligence with real-world, investor-savvy execution,” said Ray Monteleone, CEO of Paladin Global Partners. “By bringing together the best minds in investment, economic strategy, and business development, we can offer clients clarity and competitive advantage in ways never seen before.”
Gold Coast’s Role: Driving Venture Acceleration
At the center of the partnership stands Bo Megginson, Managing Partner at Gold Coast Angel Investors. A veteran in early-stage capital and cross-border enterprise growth, Megginson has supported more than $40 million in early-stage investments and played a pivotal role in connecting Israeli innovation with U.S. capital markets. His expertise strengthens the alliance’s ability to elevate high-growth startups and established companies seeking expansion.
REC’s Economic Intelligence: Data That Drives Decisions
The partnership also integrates the analytical power of REC, led by Chief Economist Dr. Clyde Diao and CEO Jared Parker. Their rigorous economic forecasting has shaped public policy, market development, and investment strategies across Florida and beyond. REC’s insights, trusted by the State of Florida, Monroe County, and the Florida Association of Realtors, set a new standard for precision-driven economic planning.
“Together, we’re uniquely equipped to empower businesses, investors, and government agencies with a powerful blend of strategic, financial, and economic intelligence,” added Bo Megginson. “This partnership unlocks new opportunities for smarter investments, stronger growth, and market-defining innovation.”
