Steve Edwards, founder & owner of Premier Virtual, is a Veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division. He has been in sales leadership for over 15 years across multiple verticals and products. In 2019 he started Premier Virtual to conduct virtual events that grew tremendously during the pandemic.

Steve was the winner of the 2020 FL Veterans Expo Pitch Competition that took place in Orlando with 7 other major universities in the state of Florida. His platform quickly rose up the rankings in the top virtual event platforms in the Country. When Steve started the VFEP, he was still in startup and development mode. Currently, Premier Virtual is now on a 2.4M run rate.

Since then an article in Florida Trends magazine was written about his business venture & the FAU Tech Runway also offered him a rent-free space for a year.
