What we’re about
NIBA Fort Lauderdale is a community hosted by the National Investment Banking Association (NIBA), a 501(c)(6) non-profit that has supported the micro-cap and small-cap ecosystem since 1982. Our mission is to help quality emerging-growth companies connect with the professional finance community and navigate capital formation responsibly.
What we do
Practical workshops (e.g., how to structure a crowdfunding campaign, going public 101, and compliant investor outreach).
Curated networking with the professional finance community — including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, broker-dealers, RIAs, and investment bankers.
Local meetups aligned with NIBA’s flagship two-day events.
