“Startups in
Florida looking for investment can’t easily get noticed. Many angel
investors don’t know and can’t easily learn about potential deals in
Florida. And those with “career capital” - mentors who want to help
startups, can’t readily be found,” said Dennis R. Pape, Managing Director of
Central Florida Technology Ventures and founder of the
website. “Using our website, startups can gain visibility to the
Florida investor and mentor community while investors can find Florida startup
deal flow and people that have “been there and done that” can become connected
to the Florida entrepreneurial ecosystem and help Florida entrepreneurs
succeed. For the Florida technology venture community, we’re the
only place in Florida where all the news, events, and deals associated with
technology startups is reported. There is also a place to find
service providers and jobs in the startup community as well.”
14 startups have already joined the site including rocksho, a Jacksonville-based digital music platform company, Fracture, a Gainesville digital printing startup, Row Sham Bow, an Orlando-based game4 development studio creating games for social networks,
Claro Scientific, a St. Petersburg-based medical diagnostics company, and COWs, a Miami-based mobile storage
company.
Pape
emphasized that Florida Venture Sourcing is committed to bringing visibility
and transparency to the Florida startup community and the investment
process. "The focus of our website is to foster new venture
development and growth by providing a single, easily accessible, place where
Florida startups, investors, mentors, and the business and technology community
can connect.
