Florida Opportunity Fund
VC Fund
Winter Park, United States
Florida Opportunity Fund is a VC fund in Winter Park focused on Software and Health Care. Based on legislation created in 2007 and launched in 2008, the Florida Opportunity Fund (FOF) provides venture capital to emerging Florida companies, leverages additional capital resources, builds relationships with experienced entrepreneurs to lead growth companies, and partners with other organizations to strengthen the early-stage financeecosystem in Florida. FOF is a not-for-profit corporation and, by statute, is not an instrumentality of the State of Florida.
