VENTURES WE SEEK
What We Look for in Potential Investments
Florida Angel Nexus focuses on companies that demonstrate scalability, strong leadership, and potential for significant returns on investment.
We review hundreds of companies each year and select only those that meet our rigorous criteria for presentation to our investor network. While every investment is unique, there are common characteristics we seek in the ventures we support.
We look for ventures that can achieve significant growth without proportional increases in costs. The potential to scale rapidly is a key indicator of a business that can provide the returns angel investors seek.
The quality of the management team is often the most important factor in our evaluation. We look for passionate, experienced leaders who understand their market and have the skills to execute their vision.
Ventures should address a significant market need with a solution that creates real value for customers. We favor total addressable markets large enough to support substantial growth.
We seek companies with a clear competitive edge, whether through proprietary technology, intellectual property, unique business model, or first-mover advantage in an emerging market.
Most ventures we fund have moved beyond the idea stage and have demonstrated some level of market validation, either through customer acquisition, revenue generation, or successful pilots.
We expect companies to propose valuations that reflect their current stage, achievements, and market conditions. Unrealistic valuations can prevent otherwise promising ventures from securing funding.
Investment Focus Areas
While we evaluate opportunities across various sectors, our investors have shown particular interest in:
- Information Technology & Software
- Healthcare & Life Sciences
- Education Technology
- Clean Energy & Sustainability
- Financial Technology
- Advanced Manufacturing
However, we consider all scalable business models with strong potential for growth and return on investment, regardless of industry. Our primary focus is on ventures based in Florida or with significant operations in the state.
