Raising equity capital in Miami?  Here are a few tips from a Wharton grad:

1. Hire an expert to write your business plan in Miami.  The plans that are being funded today are being written by professionals.  Can you compete with an MBA analysis and financial statement.  It will cost you less and save you time.
2. Focus on profits.  You can not afford to take away time from your Miami business to write a plan.  You need to be driving profits forward.  I have seen all too often a CEO makes the mistake of spending over 50% of their time raising capital.  Amp’d Mobile is an example.
3. Network in Miami.  It is easier to sell to people in your Miami network.  Most investors in Miami will not read your plan unless they know someone who knows you. 
4. Friends and Family.  Have your friends and family from Miami invest in your project. Venture capitalists want to see that you have a vested interest in sticking with the projects during the ups and downs.
