If you’re wondering what Florida has brought to the startup tech scene in recent years, we’ve got just the thing for you! Our Florida’s tech scene: an overview of promising startups will guide you through the most promising rising stars.
Ugami
The first entry for our overview of promising startups is Ugami. First, to give credit where it’s due, Ugami nails the challenge of designing a successful business logo. Their target audience are gamers, and their sleek, futuristic design definitely appeals to that crowd. The startup itself aims to produce ‘financial products’ for gamers. Things such as credit and debit cards, and even their own financial platform. From there, users can earn points from purchases, which sounds straightforward, right? Well, the selling point of this startup is the fact that the point can be redeemed at Nintendo, PlayStation, Best Buy and more platforms!
CarePredict
Following up the gamer-centric startups, we have one geared towards health in CarePredict. This particular startup aims to produce bracelets for seniors. Not just any bracelets, though, but ones that use remote monitoring tech to track the health of the wearer. This can catch sudden changes in condition and alert the necessary channels quickly. Meaning that this particular tech can easily contribute to saving countless lives, as confirmed by the fact that the startup was a CES 2023 Innovation Awards honoree in the category of digital health.
Heru
Heru has an extremely simple goal: making it possible for VR headsets to replace vision diagnostic machines and other instruments used by physicians during exams. IF they succeed, they won’t just make it much cheaper for physicians to run their businesses, since equipment they want to replace costs at least $200,000. They’ll also make all these services available from the comfort of one’s home.
KEO World
Cloud computing and digital inventory, as well as online payment solutions, are all becoming more and more important to businesses. This is where KEO World steps in, with their attempt to revolutionize the way all of this is handled. This FinTech startup aims to provide buyers and suppliers a way to accelerate their growth, boost purchasing power, optimize international payments and even increase working capital. If they have their way, businesses will be able to manage their inventory and finances entirely through digital means, and their day-to-day running will benefit immensely from it.
SmartHop
SmartHop have a real gem on their hands. They aim to make an app for optimizing routes and helping truckers both find the most efficient routes and the most valuable loads to pick up. The challenges of a professional trucker are many, and the improvements this app can make to the profession are immense. This will also be useful for other jobs, too. If anyone is looking for commercial movers to settle into a new office, the route optimization of SmarHop will ensure that certified crews can step in quickly.
Doroni Aerospace
One of the most unique entries for our overview of promising startups is Doroni Aerospace. This fascinating startup looks to create an electric takeoff and landing vehicle meant for commercial use. In other news, bona fide flying vehicles! The improvement this can offer to everyday life is obvious, and the development and improvement of their Doroni H1 vehicle is already ongoing in their facility located in Pompano Beach.
Neptunya Ocean Power
If sustainability is a major concern for you, then we have good news with the next entry in our overview of promising startups. Naptunya Ocean Power is a startup aiming to design floating offshore wind turbines. This is huge for the US, since the potential offshore wind energy that can be harvested here is immense. The problem is, most waters are too deep for the traditional fixed-bottom wind turbines, making this startup’s research and innovation priceless. The startup company won the 2022 Cade Prize, awarded by the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville.
MoonPay
For those eager to witness the jump from WEB2 to WEB3, we present MoonPay. The startup markets as ‘architects of the future, inventors, artists, and authors of innovation… (who look to) unlock digital ownership for everyone’. The innovative minds at MoonPay aim to do so by providing an end-to-end payment solution, smart contract development, and even digital assets management. Their platform is, of course, marketed to individual users. But the majority of their appeal lies in the options they offer to businesses.
DoorLoop
If you don’t want to deal with website nonsense and yet want to streamline your work as a landlord, then DoorLoop is here to save you. If it sounds like we are exaggerating, we are not. DoorLoop aims to make property management difficulties a thing of the past. They want to do this by letting landlords collect rent and manage properties through a single platform. Considering how popular real estate investment is in Miami Beach, where this startup was founded, DoorLoop have a ton of knowledge about what their clients encounter and have perfectly positioned themselves to pander to their needs.
Kiwibot
The final entry to our overview of promising startups is Kiwibot! Now, you don’t need to learn a ton about tech to recognize the value of a last-mile autonomous delivery bot. And that’s exactly what Kiwibot offers to their investors. The bots will be focused on college campuses, where the average number of deliveries is much higher. And, thus, are more challenging for last-mile logistics. The development of these helpful bots will save a ton of work and effort to delivery companies, which is why investors have already put millions into this startup.
