What 305 Ventures does

305 Ventures is a Miami-based venture capital firm founded in 2021 that invests at the pre-seed and seed stage ("0 → 1") in companies globally. The firm is structured as 305 Venture Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and operates from a 1–10 person team headquartered in Miami, Florida. Its stated mission is to identify and build the next cohort of $10B companies by leveraging a proprietary community network alongside AI-assisted deal sourcing, positioning itself as a founder-operated ("run by founders") emerging manager.

The firm's core "product" is twofold: (1) early-stage equity capital allocated to founders across roughly ten verticals including FinTech, Sports/Media/Entertainment, AI, Metaverse/NFT, Consumer, CPG, Bio/Health, PropTech, Enterprise and Web3/DeFi; and (2) a Private Co-Invest Network through which accredited investors can participate in selected deals on a deal-by-deal basis. The portfolio spans approximately 46 disclosed companies, with notable bets including PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy, Betr, Wondermind (co-founded by Selena Gomez), W Labs Inc. (Jake Paul–led), FlexFinance, Wombo, and Manifest ($3.4M seed, 2023). Platform activities include the recurring Miami Founders Demo Day during Miami Tech Week and an active social presence across Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.

The business model is that of a typical venture manager: management fees and carried interest on invested capital, with an unusual distribution overlay in the form of the Private Co-Invest Network that allows the firm to syndicate deals to accredited investors outside a closed-end fund structure. No AUM, fund size, management fee rate, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and all but one disclosed investment amount is undisclosed, limiting external diligence on firm economics. Geographic footprint is claimed as global, with operational concentration in Miami and Southeast US.
