Miami venture capital & startups

Miami LatAm gateway map — Lula's $18M Series A, Payall and Yuga Labs HQ profiles, and local funds TheVentureCity, Ocean Azul, and Fuel Venture Capital.

South Florida markets itself as the U.S.–LatAm bridge. We now profile Miami-HQ startups Lula (insurance APIs), Payall (cross-border bank rails), Yuga Labs (web3 IP), and Meta4 Capital (fund-like), plus Miami-metro funds TheVentureCity, Ocean Azul Partners, and Fuel Venture Capital — the local seed layer Venture Week coverage names but national directories often skip.

Coverage gaps

  • SoftBank Latin America / Miami Initiative

    Frequently cited in South Florida capital narratives — no verified /fund/ profile yet

  • Miami Angels

    Local angel network for first checks — not a classic VC fund vehicle in our directory

  • Jeeves

    LatAm-gateway comps company but HQ is San Francisco in our data — cross-link, do not re-home to Miami

  • Operating web3 beyond Yuga/Meta4

    Miami crypto story is broader than two profiles — expand with verified facts only

  • TheVentureCity

    Miami HQ early-stage fund (Wynwood / NW 2nd Ave) with Europe–U.S.–LatAm hubs; strong local brand not yet profiled in our fund directory.

  • Krillion Ventures

    Miami early-stage firm cited for healthcare, fintech, and real estate tech; verify current fund status before adding a full profile.

  • Magma Partners

    Active LatAm pre-seed–Series A franchise often associated with the Miami corridor, but the firm describes a fully distributed LatAm team — not a clear Miami HQ match for location aliases.

  • Accelmed Partners

    Miami Beach–listed healthcare / medtech investor (ADV filings); specialty PE/VC hybrid — profile when we expand healthtech coverage.

Miami FAQs

Practical answers for founders researching this investor.

On /vc/miami we profile SoftBank Latin America Fund (Brickell), Fuel Venture Capital (Coconut Grove HQ), Starlight Ventures (Brickell), Las Olas Venture Capital (Fort Lauderdale), and Ocean Azul Partners (Coral Gables). Open each /fund/ page for stage and thesis detail.
See the startups table on /vc/miami. Profiles link to /startup/ pages when HQ or curation matches — startup coverage is still thinner than the fund shortlist.
Price seed rounds with Miami-metro funds (TheVentureCity, Ocean Azul, Fuel), then add national LatAm-active platforms when stage and thesis fit. Use local customer proof for cross-border fintech — not city-brand slides alone.
Seed and Series A lean local or dual-presence NY/Miami shops. Growth and crossover capital still flies in from NYC, SF, and global platforms — Miami's edge is gateway GTM, not local multi-stage density.
SoftBank Latin America Fund is the largest dedicated SoftBank LatAm vehicle with a Miami team base. Fuel Venture Capital also has notable LatAm/international portfolio exposure from its Miami platform. Magma Partners is LatAm-focused but distributed — listed as a coverage gap until we can confirm HQ matching.
Las Olas Venture Capital (Fort Lauderdale, ~$1.5–$3M seed average per firm site) and Ocean Azul Partners (Coral Gables Seed/Series A) are local early-stage options. Starlight fits breakthrough science/deep-tech; Fuel spans seed through growth. Start at /vc/miami then /fund/las-olas-venture-capital or /fund/ocean-azul-partners.
No. Florida Funders is Tampa-based (/fund/florida-funders) and is not counted as a Miami HQ match. Use /vc/miami for South Florida HQ aliases only.
