And the winner is...
After four weeks of competition, just one startup is left standing among the 16 South Florida companies featured in Miami Inno's 2022 Inno Madness bracket challenge.
Miami-based financial tech firm Taxfyle prevailed over Boca Raton's ReachLink, a telehealth startup, in the final round. Thousands of readers voted in the championship match, with Taxfyle winning 59% of the support.
Taxfyle is an on-demand platform that matches individuals and businesses with licensed CPAs. In February, the startup secured $20 million from Miami's Fuel Venture Capital and Madrid-based IDC Ventures in a series B financing round. At the time, Taxfyle executives said the company planned to use the capital to double the platform's number of tax professionals to 8,000 and hire 100 employees.
