FloridaSmart is self-funded. We have not taken outside funding and believe that this incredibly important decision will allow us the freedom to shape our company our own way in the years to come.
This website started back in 1998 when the internet was brand new and re-vamped a couple years ago with the intention of building a community to help organizations, small businesses and entrepreneurs reach consumers by sharing their knowledge and expertise through real stories, information and tips that our readers appreciate in a collaborative media presence.
Our goal is to help as many organizations, small businesses and entrepreneurs in Florida as we can, reach a new audience and connect with their community through compelling stories and content.
We strive to be a Benefit Company putting the emphasis on community over profit, that’s why for every sponsor or influencer who signs up with us, we write an editorial on a Florida non-profit, charity, cause, issue or awareness in order to have a more social and economic impact.
We want to empower the businesses, organizations and people who are doing good in Florida.
With your help, we can continue to keep providing this connection with real content and real people to help impact our community. In an internet filled with AI content that is repetitive and boring, our hope is to bring our readers compelling content and stories while building a community of trust and support of local businesses and communities.
