Florida Formation Weekend · Capital Formation Lab
Ready in a weekend — for Florida capital formation
This is a hands-on capital formation lab, not a pitch contest and not a fund. In two days you learn how early-stage Florida companies raise from Florida residents under the state's intrastate securities pathways — without full SEC registration — and you leave with a company file you can actually use.
Friday eight hours. Saturday six. Taught by a Gainesville attorney, and other attorneys from around the state of Florida. Form or register a Florida company, set authorized shares, write the plan and executive summary, build a deck that matches the file, and walk a Florida funding portal. Education only. You keep the company.

What "ready" means
When Saturday ends, you should be ready to operate a compliant Florida intrastate raise path — not to have closed a round in class.
- Entity + shares: Florida company formed or registered; authorized shares understood and documented.
- Path chosen: Clear memo on Invest Local (up to $500k) vs Limited Offering (up to $5M) for your facts.
- File that matches: Business plan, executive summary, and a deck that matches the same story.
- Portal literacy: You've walked how a Florida funding portal works — rails, not a guaranteed raise.
- 30-day plan: Next steps you own (counsel, CPA, bank, portal). You do not need CFL after Saturday.
We teach the operating system. We do not introduce investors, take equity, or run your raise.
