New funding possibilities are opening for startups in the Southeast United States through a partnership between Seedfunders, a St. Petersburg-based investment group, and the TiE Florida Angel Network.
Under the partnership, TiE FAN will refer companies that don’t meet its own funding criteria to Seedfunders for potential financial backing. If the companies pass Seedfunders’ five-stage vetting process, TiE FAN and individual TiE members will be able to invest alongside Seedfunders partners in the deals, said Joe Hamilton, publisher of the St. Pete Catalyst and a Seedfunders partner.
