Coastal Community Fund

Overview

Coastal Community Fund is a Florida-based venture capital fund supporting seed-stage startups with a focus on local workforce development. The fund partners with founders who are passionate about strengthening the Tampa Bay economy and communities, providing not only capital but also hands-on advisory, meaningful connections, and local introductions to turn ambition into real impact. Each investment supports more than a balance sheet; it champions local pride, rewards perseverance, and enables Florida talent to flourish. The ripple effect of one founder’s success creates jobs, energizes local economies, and inspires others to dream bigger, proving that when Tampa Bay founders win, the whole community rises. The fund's approach emphasizes radical transparency, true partnership, and community ethics. Every significant decision is discussed with the advisory board, and investors receive detailed updates on both wins and challenges. The fund seeks partners who help shape its investment thesis, provide strategic guidance to portfolio companies, and build the connective tissue that makes ecosystems thrive. With a $5 million fund, it keeps 100% of capital and returns within the Tampa Bay ecosystem. When the companies invested in succeed, those returns flow back to local investors and fund the next generation of Florida startups. Coastal Community Fund's first investment was in Spontivly, a St. Petersburg-based startup, marking the fund's commitment to fueling growth in the Tampa Bay region. The fund is actively raising up to $5 million to support the next wave of Florida founders, accepting investments starting at $25,000. It is a pooled fund, actively deploying capital, and is open to accredited investors only.
