Flamingo Capital is a Miami-based investment syndicate led by a team of successfully-exited founders and investors. The syndicate focuses on sourcing top deals through local connections and a deep network of venture capital investors worldwide. They emphasize investments in the future of digital life and the evolution of industries, maintaining a stage-agnostic approach by investing across Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, and later stages.
Leadership Team
Flamingo Capital’s leadership comprises experienced professionals:
- Chris Adamo: Managing Director of The Arkive Art Fund, former executive at 1-800-Flowers.com, co-founder of Letterhead, and an active angel investor and advisor in over 40 startups.

Investment Approach
Flamingo Capital sources deals from a deep network of founders and investors, opening access to opportunities across highly vetted startups. They invest both locally in Miami and across the country, maintaining a cadence of 1-2 deals per month. Allocations typically range from $100,000 to $1 million, based on the stage and size of the round. Most deals have a 20% carry, and they often co-syndicate with top AngelList syndicates.

Community Engagement
Flamingo Capital views each limited partner (LP) as an important part of their community. They strive to engage in two-way conversations to source and co-syndicate deals, provide value to the founders they invest in, and grow each other’s networks. The syndicate plans to gather annually in Miami, provide an online community for engagement, and offer opportunities to help members expand their horizons and networks.
