Where do you see Miami’s startup scene five years from now?
Miami’s startup scene has been growing and evolving over the past 5+ years thanks to local organizations supporting entrepreneurship including, but not limited to Endeavor Miami, The Knight Foundation, The Lab, Rokk3r Labs, eMerge Americas, Miami Angels and Wyncode. Many of Miami’s entrepreneurs, investors and startups have historically had ties to Latin America.

However, I predict more non-Latin American founders, investors, engineers and operators from cities like New York, LA and San Francisco, will also choose to build their businesses in Miami due to higher quality of life and more attractive tax rates. This dynamic will bring more relevant talent and a larger, more robust tech ecosystem to South Florida.

Singapore- and Silicon Valley-based seed investor Hustle Fund has raised $33.6 million for the final close of its second global pre-seed fund.
Hustle Fund 2’s anchor limited partners are US venture capital firm Foundry Group Next, Taiwanese corporate Far Eastern Group, Japanese corporate venture arm LINE Ventures, and Chinese private investment firm Shanda Group.
Both LINE Ventures and Shanda Group re-joined this vehicle, having anchored Hustle’s $11.5 million debut fund in 2019.
Hustle Fund targets the pre-seed segment, writing $25,000 first cheques in startups before working alongside the team to determine follow-on rounds. It plans to deploy up to one-third of the fund in Southeast Asian companies in Hong Kong and Australia, among other places, while the remaining will be invested in North American startups.
