Funding Miami founders,
run by founders

Our Investments

Miami then and now

Community

The 305 already receives exposure to many of the best current and potentially future Miami-based tech startups and founders.

Capital

Our LP network frequently co-invests alongside us should our portfolio companies be interested in raising additional capital. We are also a feeder fund to active VC firms in South FL.

Growth

Our portfolio company services (305 events, PR/Marketing, Business Development) will help our companies gain exposure to potential customers and investors and accelerate their growth.

Empathy

We are active founders that are “in the thick of it” -- we are able to provide real-time relevant advice and introductions to portfolio company founders. This helps us win allocations.
