ABOUT THE SEED FLORIDA FUND

Florida Funders, a hybrid venture capital firm and crowdfunding platform has teamed up with the University of South Florida (USF) to establish the SEED Florida Fund.

SEED Florida is an innovative seed-stage fund created with support from a U.S. Economic Development Association Grant to USF, addressing the ongoing challenge of limited available capital for early-stage seed investments. Florida is home to dozens of quality incubators and accelerators, 28 public research institutions and several of the top 25 markets for startup activity.

But Florida has limited capital available for seed-stage start-ups.

OUR GOAL

To unleash seed capital for early-stage companies throughout the state, spurring innovation and making Florida the best place to start a company.

INVESTING IN THREE PRIMARY SECTORS
