Tampa-based Florida Funders, a venture capital fund and angel investor network, looks to capitalize on the recent, Reddit-driven trend in so-called “retail” investing by supporting vigtec.io, a company that’s behind an app-based “affordable investing discovery platform built for investors of all experience levels,” according to a press release.
Florida Funders invested $250,000 in vigtec.io, which was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Tampa, although its 15 staff members are scattered around the country. The fund, the release stated, will be used to help the company complete work on its Android mobile app (it’s already available for iOS devices) and data visualization tools, as well as grow its global user base.
