Juxtapose, RSE and Related Ross Launch Latitudes for NY-Florida Corridor as NYC Tops $16 Billion VC

Latitudes will build technology companies across a New York-South Florida corridor, with Juxtapose and RSE Ventures joining Related Ross in West Palm Beach.
Second headquarters in West Palm Beach are central to the plan, which the firms describe as a full expansion rather than a satellite office.
The backers argue AI is weakening the need for a single-city startup hub, making a two-city model more viable for founders, talent and customers.
New York supplies enterprise access and capital density, while South Florida offers faster growth, business-friendly conditions and a tech job market the group says is the nation’s second-fastest-growing.
The launch builds on New York’s rise into a major tech center—home to more than 50 unicorns and $16 billion in 2024 venture funding—as the firms bet South Florida can become its next linked growth engine.
