Saxon Baum started building businesses early, selling on eBay at 12 and later co-founding the corporate culture software company WeVue while still in college, where he spent six years leading sales and marketing before moving into venture capital; at Florida Funders, he's made more than 20 personal investments of his own and spent eight years helping drive the firm's strategy, fundraising, and portfolio support before a two-year planned transition into his current leadership role. He talks about using AI to connect startups with the right customers, partners, and follow-on investors through Florida Funders' network, frames backing founders as offering real distribution and audience reach rather than just a check, and has become a more visible voice on authentic relationship-building, video content, and where Florida's tech investment is headed next.
