Jeff Ransdell, venture capitalist and founder of Rokk3rFuel VC, explains why more and more entrepreneurs are coming to South Florida to build their companies. From electric scooters and facial detection software to the “Uber” of the CPA service, he sheds light on Miami-based startups with global scalability that are poised make waves in the Magic City's blossoming idea-to-exit ecosystem.  
About Jeff: 
Jeff Ransdell is a venture capitalist building a portfolio of exponential technology companies at Wynwood Arts District-based venture capital firm ​Rokk3r Fuel ExO​, which he founded in 2017 following a departure from the world of private wealth management. Jeff approaches venture capital with a signature “founder focused, investor driven” mindset, shaped by two decades as a top executive of Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
As a managing director and market executive of the financial powerhouse, he managed more than $130 billion of global private client investment assets, a P&L of $2 billion, and over 2,000 employees across the bank’s Southeast Wealth Management Division. His transition to venture capital was motivated by what he saw as mounting evidence that opportunities to shape the economy and capitalize on innovation were steadily shifting from the public markets to the private markets.
In the face of much skepticism, Jeff chose Miami, Florida, as the home base for Rokk3r Fuel, armed with an unparalleled rolodex and emboldened to leverage the city’s untapped resources and advantages. Today, Rokk3r Fuel manages a $200 million fund and has a portfolio of almost a dozen companies, such as ​HYP3R​, ​AdMobilize​, ​Taxfyle​, and ​Eyrus​.
Jeff is regularly called upon to share his insights on the global economy with outlets such as the CNBC, CBS and American City Business Journals.

Miami has clearly evolved into a thriving financial center, global gateway, hub for world class arts and culture, destination for education and healthcare, tourism juggernaut, and wellspring of prime waterfront residential real estate ... and yet, until recently, the city’s relationship with the Asian market has been limited. The reasons for this include regional unfamiliarity with Miami, lingering misconceptions of the “Miami Vice” era and the absence of direct flights from South Florida to East Asia.
However, key factors indicate the dawn of a sweeping Asian-influenced era in South Florida. How did we arrive here? And more important, what does it mean for South Florida and Miami’s economic growth? J.C. Caceres, President of the Asian Real Estate Association of America's Greater Miami Chapter, joins us on the podcast to explain. 
About JC Caceres:
For over 24 years, I have been passionate about South Florida real estate. During my extensive career, I have  seen Miami and surrounding areas evolve from vacation destinations to full-fledged international capitals of business, finance, the arts, and culture. Along the way, I have also established one of South Florida’s strongest real estate networks.
“Having purchased homes in this market myself, I am always thinking of ways to help buyers successfully take advantage of the ever-growing popularity and value available in South Florida. I believe it’s my ability to see the situation through my clients’ eyes that has helped me create so many customers for life.
Before embarking on his real estate career, I spent over 13 years in management at United Parcel Service. There, I worked throughout different centers in the region and had great opportunities to get to know and work with many wonderful people and business owners. As well, I also successfully ran a restaurant's business in Miami for several years. It was during these positions that I perfected my talent for listening to others’ objectives and presenting effective and efficient solutions – skills that I continue to use today with my real estate clientele. “I enjoy bringing people together in situations that can  benefit everyone involved.  When I represent a client, I make the extra effort to completely and fully analyze their needs. This allows me to not only meet their expectations and protect their best interests, but also identify the best-possible properties that may exist through the right kinds of connections.
Originally from Bogota, Colombia, I been living in South Florida for a long-time where I am a resident and in the Miami area. My current focus is on residential properties throughout Miami-Dade and Broward and Orlando counties with a concentration on “great opportunities and deals that offer the best return, value, or match for each individual client.”
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in International Business and Global Management from Florida International University (FIU) and is a member of the Realtor Association of Miami, the Florida Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors. Whenever possible, I make it a point of supporting the local community through various non-profit organizations as well as local PTA’s for his children’s schools.

Sobre Alicia Cervera Lamadrid:
Alicia Cervera Lamadrid nació en La Habana, fue criada en Miami, y viene de una familia cuyo nombre familiar es sinónimo de lujosos terrenos. Creció en un ambiente de bienes raíces ya que ambos padres estaban en este negocio (Alicia Cervera Sr. fundó Cervera Real Estate, la primera empresa inmobiliaria de Miami que se especializa en ventas a desarrolladores). Cervera Lamadrid se unió a la empresa de su madre a principios de la década de 1980, donde, con el tiempo, dejó su marca representando lujosos condominios como The Imperial, Villa Regina y Bristol Towers en la famosa Brickell Avenue. Ocupó diferentes funciones y aprendió el negocio desde su base. Aunque haya ingresado al mundo de las propiedades de miles de millones de dólares debido a lazos familiares, fue su visión para los negocios, su capacidad de innovación y su trato personal, que la mantuvieron entre las mayores protagonistas de la industria.
En el año 2000, después de varios años de representar exitosamente a los desarrolladores más importantes de Miami, Related Group invitó a Cervera Real Estate a unir fuerzas. El resultado fue Related Cervera Realty Services (RCRS). En solo diez años, bajo el liderazgo de Cervera Lamadrid, el corretaje inmobiliario de servicio completo vendió más de 14.600 unidades, representando más de $6,8 mil millones. Cuando el mercado comenzó a cambiar en 2008, Cervera Lamadrid logro que sus equipos cerraran ventas a desarrolladores por un valor superior a $720 millones. 
En 2011, Cervera Lamadrid fue nombrada socia directora de Cervera Real Estate y, junto con el liderazgo de la empresa, encabezó el esfuerzo de expandir la base de la empresa. Apasionada por las propiedades inmobiliarias, Cervera Lamadrid continúa predicando con el ejemplo, satisfaciendo las necesidades de los clientes desarrolladores y asistiendo a los socios en transacciones individuales y mayoristas. Hoy, Cervera Lamadrid supervisa ventas inmobiliarias de pre-construcción y de “General Real Estate” que exceden los $4,5 mil millones.
