Top 20 Startups in Florida

We put dozens of startups through the Phiquest innovation compass to determine what are the 20 top startups in Florida.

Follow the path of a successful product back to where it began. What do you think you will find? Like dominos toppling in sequence you will find a set of innovation breakthroughs that lead back to a single human thought sparking it all into action.

At Phiquest \’fee kwest\ we are in the business of breakthroughs and we have been in search of the top innovators in our backyard. The innovators included in this list of Top 20 Startups are inspired and inspire others to make a difference. Their products and business models exemplify the innovator’s values that new product development teams should strive for.

To help guide our selection we leverage the Phiquest Innovation Compass. The Phiquest team evaluated a list of nearly 100 companies and ranked them across various criteria derived from the compass model.

The top 20 of those organizations are included in this list, and this is our way of celebrating and promoting innovation, creativity and holistic thinking when building companies and new products.

If your company is on the list thank you for doing what you are doing. We hope that your efforts infect and inspire others to pursue beautiful ideas trapped in their heads. If your company did not make it on the list we want to hear from you. Help us set the record straight if we missed you. In closing, congratulations to the top 20 founding teams, and thank you for exemplifying the values and thinking we believe in. Keep up the excellent work!

We believe these are the top 5 startups in Florida as of 2020.
