LOVC is an early-stage venture capital fund investing exclusively in B2B software companies based in the Eastern US. Founded in 2016 by former entrepreneurs, LOVC is now investing out of its $50M Fund II and typically leads $3-7M rounds with $1.5-3M checks. As active lead investors with a concentrated early-stage portfolio, we provide our founders with tailored strategic and operational support and guidance. The LOVC platform and team connect our founders and CEOs to our networks of capital, talent, and customers.
Techstars Miami, Powered by J.P. Morgan, assists founders in rapidly achieving product-market fit, a stage that typically takes 3-5 years for most successful companies. The program significantly shortens this timeframe, increasing the likelihood of success. Each selected company receives $120,000 in initial funding. Techstars Miami focuses on aiding founders in reaching product-market fit and preparing for subsequent fundraising. The program includes in-person and remote sessions, with the first and final weeks in Miami. Activities include networking events, workshops, mentorship, and "speed dating," and culminate in an Investor Day and Demo Day.
