Michael Kadow built his role at Florida Funders around the regulatory and compliance side of venture investing, handling SEC-related matters and the investor portal, a focus shaped by his background as a former senior audit associate at Cherry Bekaert and his accounting and finance degree from Florida State. He has also written publicly arguing that accredited investor rules should weigh investing sophistication rather than just net worth, and he's credited as a direct investor on Florida Funders' seed deal in Emobi, showing he's engaged in portfolio investing beyond his operational work.
