July, 2025 — Miami, FL — The Ventures Award, a global platform for early-stage innovation, held its inaugural Miami edition in June 2025, bringing together high-potential startups and leading venture investors for a focused evening of curated pitch sessions.
The event marked the latest expansion of The Ventures Award, which originated in Silicon Valley and has since grown into a trusted international stage for emerging tech companies. With support from over 100 venture firms and institutional partners — including Stanford University, Plug and Play Tech Center, and Google — the program is designed to connect investment-ready startups with capital, visibility, and strategic partners.
The Miami edition featured a diverse cohort of founders building in fintech, artificial intelligence, medtech, and cross-border e-commerce infrastructure. Startups were selected based on global criteria including product-market readiness, early traction, team strength, and scalable technology.
“Strong teams, clear execution, and real user traction — that’s what stood out in Miami. But what impressed me most as a marketer in e-commerce was how well these founders understand positioning and scale. They’re not just building products — they’re building brands,” — Nicole Fortes, CMO at Ecom Express
What continues to differentiate The Ventures Award is its focus on strategic matchmaking and depth. Each event is designed not as a spectacle, but as a platform for high-intent, sector-aligned engagement between founders and investors. The format prioritizes substance, trust-building, and long-term opportunity — enabling real momentum in some of the most competitive startup categories.
With past editions held in New York, San Francisco, London, Buenos Aires, Tel Aviv, and Tokyo, the program continues its international growth with upcoming events scheduled for Seattle, Warsaw, Cyprus, New York and Singapore later in 2025.
