Stars, Stripes, and Startups at The 5th Floor
The 5th Floor: A Collaborative Hub for All
Picture this: you step off the elevator into a bright, collaborative workspace—and everything you need is within reach. At The 5th Floor Orlando, a full gym sits just across the street and a vibrant food hall is an elevator ride away. Inside, you’ll discover lockable private offices, flexible meeting rooms, and open desks designed to spark creativity beyond your home office.
But we’re more than just desks. As a member, you’ll tap into mentorship that guides you through every phase of growing your business—from refining to scaling for success. And with our monthly member gatherings— you’ll naturally connect with peers, advisors, and investors without ever leaving your workspace.
Climbing the Ladder to Financial Freedom
What does financial freedom mean to you? Here at The 5th Floor, we see it as the moment your business income covers your living expenses—letting you focus on what truly drives you. Entrepreneurship offers a clear path to that independence by empowering you to build products, attract customers, and establish systems that generate revenue around your passions.
Unlike a traditional 9-to-5, you set your own ceiling. Every sale you make and every process you refine becomes a rung on your ladder to autonomy. Reinvesting profits fuels growth, unlocking new opportunities and passive income streams. Before you know it, those side hustles or personal interests you love become sustainable ventures.
With the right support—mentorship, a collaborative community, and resources at The 5th Floor—scaling happens faster. Take Divergent U alumni, for example: many students transformed their ideas into seven-figure businesses by their mid-twenties. That kind of momentum is rare in conventional careers but typical for founders who combine innovation with dedication.
Here, every milestone you hit—whether launching a new product, closing a big client, or automating your workflow—brings you one step closer to true financial freedom and the ultimate reward: doing work you love on your own terms.
Fueling Visionary Growth with Divergent U
Launching a business often means stepping into uncharted territory—but you don’t have to go it alone. Divergent U offers a hands-on gap-year program that equips aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills to turn bold ideas into real ventures. By emphasizing collaborative learning and open-source materials, Divergent U ensures every student has the tools to experiment, iterate, and grow their concepts alongside like-minded peers.
Their track record speaks volumes: in just five years of pilot programs, Divergent U graduates have taken startups from zero to more than $1.5 million in annual revenue. Many of these founders are under 25—and over a quarter have surpassed $100K in yearly sales through ventures built on their unique talents. Every participant even showcases their business to the local community, reinforcing the importance of practical financial intelligence and real-world experience.
These outcomes mirror The 5th Floor’s belief that with the right environment and mentorship, innovation knows no bounds. By partnering with Divergent U, we reinforce our promise: whether you’re a seasoned founder or just beginning, our space and resources can accelerate your climb toward lasting success.
Whether you’re sketching your first business plan or scaling an existing venture, The 5th Floor offers the tools and community to climb higher. Its collaborative workspace, mentorship, and programs like Divergent U give everyone the liberty to launch and pursue financial freedom. After all, at The 5th Floor “anything is possible” – your success is the next step up the ladder.
