Florida Funders

Florida Funders is a Tampa-based venture firm and angel network with a thesis anchored in Florida-based founders and businesses, operating across seed and Series A with a generalist software lens and a regional mandate. The floridafunders.com platform combines fund capital with a syndicate of accredited investors, giving the firm flexibility on round size. For healthcare AI founders, Florida Funders is geography-relevant rather than thesis-aligned; the firm will be most useful if you are building in Florida, hiring in Florida, or have a Florida-focused customer base that benefits from regional network access. Plausible check sizes run 250K to 1.5M from the fund directly, with the syndicate adding meaningful additional capital from individual angels, often pushing total round contributions to 2M to 4M. Founders building healthcare AI with Florida health system relationships (large health systems like AdventHealth, BayCare, Tampa General are all in their backyard), Medicare-focused products given the demographic, or senior care and chronic disease management platforms should approach. Founders without a Florida nexus should look elsewhere; the value-add is regional, and competing for attention against Florida-anchored deals is uphill. Entry path is the Florida Funders application portal on the website (they actively review submissions), LinkedIn outreach to managing partners, and warm introductions through Florida founder networks. The firm responds to inbound. Diligence will be standard seed-stage software diligence with a Florida market overlay. Bring evidence of Florida-based customer traction or hiring plans if you have them; that is the asset they uniquely amplify.
