How SeedFunders works
It starts with deal flow. Seedfunders has many channels through which deals arrive.

Strong leadership
After founding, building and exiting day-to-day operations at Florida Funders,
Dave Chitester knew there was a huge vacuum to fill in funding Florida’s seed
stage startups. He founded Seedfunders as the only organized investment
group in the state that focuses on pre-revenue tech startups. It remains the
only one even today, because investors interested in seed investing see the
value in plugging into Seedfunders. Dave continues to grow Seedfunders and
has received numerous accolades for his work including being named one of
Florida Trend’s 500 most influential business leaders.
