Florida Venture Capital Conference 2027

About the event

The Florida Venture Capital Conference is an annual investor-and-founder gathering run by the Florida Venture Forum, a non-profit. The 2027 edition is planned for 1-3 March at the Loews Coral Gables hotel in the Miami area, with sessions held at the hotel or within walking distance.

The organizer describes it as one of the largest venture events in the US, with about 1,000 participants, including more than 200 active venture investors from across the country. The agenda combines company presentations by startups selected by active investors, panels and fireside chats, lunch programming, an exhibit area with a capital hub, and several receptions. Founders can apply to present through a separate application page.

Ticket categories exist for general attendees, venture investors, forum members, founders seeking venture capital and alumni presenters. The site does not single out mobile or subscription apps, so the content is general venture and startup fundraising rather than app-specific.

For app founders it is mainly a fundraising and networking event: a way to reach many US venture funds in one place. It is not an app acquisition or M&A event, and the sources do not mention app buyers. Teams with a software or consumer product at seed or growth stage get the most out of the investor access.

Who should attend

Suited to app founders raising a seed or growth round who want to meet many US venture investors in one place, and to investors scouting software and consumer startups. Expect a general venture programme rather than app-specific content.

Tips: before registering, check which funds attend and shortlist those that back software or consumer products, then ask for intros in advance. Prepare a short deck with retention, revenue and growth numbers, and consider applying early to present, since the organizer runs a separate presenter application.
