The short answer
Our database lists 261 startup investors in Florida focused on fintech — 24% of the 1,103 startup investors we list in the state. Most are in Miami (119), Tampa (28), Miami Beach (22). (Zalarma investor database, as of 2026-11-01.)
What these investors look for
- Be clear on licensing and partners early: which bank, processor or licensed partner sits behind your product, and what compliance work is already done.
- Fintech investors look hard at unit economics and fraud/loss assumptions. Put your loss, chargeback or default assumptions on one slide.
- Regional banks, credit unions and insurers run venture programs and pilots; they can be customers, partners and investors at the same time.

About this data
Counts are records in the Zalarma investor database, as of 2026-11-01: angels, venture firms and their partners, micro-VCs, family offices, corporate VCs and accelerators that list startup investing. One investor can appear in several stage or sector rows. Stage, sector and check size come from what each record lists, so not every record has every field. Counts under 10 are not shown. Firm names are listed; we do not publish personal contact details on this site. Read how we build and check the data.
