Meet Our First Confirmed Speakers
We’re thrilled to welcome our first conference speaker, Ryan Pruitt, Managing Director at Ocean Azul Partners!
Ryan’s journey from Deloitte auditor to venture capitalist has shaped his expertise in guiding early-stage companies. Since joining Ocean Azul Partners in 2023, he’s been instrumental in fostering innovation.
A highlight of his career? Ocean Azul Partners' investment in Taxfyle, a Miami-based fintech disrupting the accounting industry. This partnership is a testament to Ryan’s commitment to supporting transformative solutions in the tech ecosystem.
Join Ryan at the Founder & VC Fireside Chat: FinTech Innovation - Taxfyle, a Miami Success Story with Richard Lavina, where he’ll discuss scaling fintech ventures and the dynamic growth of Miami’s startup scene.
Looking forward to an inspiring conversation!
We’re excited to introduce Richard Lavina, CEO and co-founder of Taxfyle!
After identifying inefficiencies in the accounting industry while at PwC, Richard founded Taxfyle in 2015. The company has since raised a $20M Series B in 2022 and continues to grow rapidly, serving thousands of taxpayers and hundreds of CPA firms, including Big Four accounting firms and international corporations.
With recognition on the Inc. 5000 list for two consecutive years and over 200% year-over-year growth, Taxfyle’s success story is one of innovation and scale.
Richard and Ryan Pruitt will share insights on Taxfyle’s journey, fintech innovation, and the future of Miami’s tech ecosystem!
