A revolution has transpired in the city of Miami over the past several years. Talented, generational defining tech leaders began to emerge locally, while those who had once put a stake in the ground in Silicon Valley or Silicon Alley relocated their families and businesses to the city in response to a buzzing ecosystem.

With Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and a vocal crowd of investors at the helm, from Founders Fund’s Keith Rabois to Ben Ling of Bling Capital, funding to Miami-based startups soared in 2021, with Q4 ‘21 alone seeing a record $2.2B invested into the city’s tech ecosystem.

Mayor Francis Suarez said, “Daversa Partners’ decision to expand to Miami is yet another sign that our city is cementing itself as the world’s Capital of Capital. Their track record speaks for itself, and I am confident Nicolette and her whole team will be a great addition to our growing tech ecosystem, serving as a bridge between Miami’s talent and the next-generation companies building the economy of tomorrow.”

Ben Ling, Founder and General Partner of Bling Capital, has become an unwavering backer of the Miami tech scene, having relocated from San Francisco in 2021. Ling said, “Daversa Partners is an important partner in the global venture and startup community. Their presence in Miami will help accelerate and attract top talent to the city.”
