New business activity in the US surged to a 13-year high in 2020, with Florida and the Southeast seeing a significant increase in startup activity. This is creating an exciting opportunity for a group of Jacksonville investors eager to support local businesses’ initiation and growth, the newly JaxAngels.

JaxAngels is a group of experienced industry executives and subject matter experts with extensive business experience and access to capital.

 “JaxAngels’ mission is to provide access to the fundamental requirements of an early-stage company: capital, and advice and mentoring,” said Kay Nichols, an investor at JaxAngels. “Working informally for the past year, JaxAngels has several investments under its belt in target industry verticals that include FinTech, MedTech, SaaS, and Cyber. To date, JaxAngels members have totaled approximately 1.5 Million in investment dollars, creating jobs and economic growth for our region.” 

JaxAngels members are actively involved in the Northeast Florida Community. Members serve on the boards of numerous local nonprofit organizations and maintain close ties to the East Coast’s civic infrastructure. With partnerships and affiliations with other angel investment groups in Tampa, Charleston, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Raleigh, Charlotte, Greenville, and Lafayette, JaxAngels is extending its reach beyond the local market to optimize deal flow and ongoing access to capital.

JaxAngels seeks to invest in early-stage companies and startups that are currently in the market generating revenues with a highly qualified dedicated team that needs expansion capital, expert advice, and connections within an industry vertical.
