Floreo: (v) I flourish
OUR STORY
Floreo Labs was founded in 2019 by a team of engineers, entrepreneurs, educators artists, boasting over a decade of combined experience in creative-technology project development in a variety of disciplines including Design, Software & Hardware Development, Digital Branding, and Education.
The name Floreo pays homage to their extended family's Belizean roots, referencing the phrase on the country's Coat of Arms "Sub Umbra Floreo" which translates to "Under the shade, I flourish."
Where on the Belizean flag this "shade" comes from the symbolism and grandeur of a Mahogany tree, the shade under which the team intends for the world to flourish under is Floreo Labs (the Lab), an organization committed to increasing the number of creative-technologists and entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds worldwide.
