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.
Funds matched by headquarters aliases (Miami, Coral Gables, Miami Beach, South Florida). Startups matched by hq field plus curated IDs. LatAm-domiciled companies without Florida HQ stay on related articles, not this hub's startup table.

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.
