Where can I find funding for my startup?

As Miami’s startup scene grows, so do the financial needs of startups. While Miami has historically lagged on local access to experienced investors, many groups and individuals are working to change that and provide new sources of venture funding for Miami companies.

We gathered a list of venture organizations working to bring more capital to Miami’s startup scene. Who would you like to see on this list? Let us know.

AGP

AGP hold pitch meetings every four to six weeks where startups who have been through our Selection Process present to AGP Members. Each individual Member decides whether to invest or not. Hence, AGP is not a fund but rather an investment club of like-minded accredited investors who are passionate about disruptive startups.
