Florida Innovation Capital (FIC) is a venture capital fund focused primarily on startups in the state of Florida. Over the past several years, the collaborative network in Florida has grown to such an extent that it’s become vital for funders to support innovative high-tech businesses, entrepreneurs, faculty, students, and jobseekers. Florida is our primary focus, but we will also seek opportunities beyond the Sunshine State to enable Florida companies to grow through collaboration and cooperative innovation with strategic partners worldwide.

Our investment in boldly original startups is an investment in the economic diversity of the state. Our entrepreneurs contribute to Florida’s technology scene, fostering growth in their communities and continuing the tradition of the historic inventors who first defined Florida as an epicenter of innovation. Florida is facing a period of intense high-tech industry growth. In the last decade, the United States has witnessed a mass migration of remote workers, new startups and tech-sector job growth generate robust economies in new urban hubs. The country’s expensive, established tech cities are shedding workers and founders, while cities with lower taxes and warmer climates—especially Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Miami—are reaping the benefits.

Florida’s university system is expansive, with low tuition and nationally recognized education standards. Our STEM programs are consistently ranked in top 10 lists, producing a robust job-ready tech workforce to join innovative teams in biotech to space exploration. Florida has long enjoyed a rich history of invention and investment. These accomplishments inspire us and our entrepreneurs as we propel a new wave of startups and digital infrastructure across the state.
