Real estate investors' bookkeeping platform joins a curated group of high-potential Florida companies in front of South Florida's investor and entrepreneurial community
MIAMI, Nov. 3, 2026 — RealBooks.io, the bookkeeping and financial management platform built for real estate investors, will present at GatorPitch Miami 2026, UF Innovate's premier startup pitch competition. The event takes place Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at the Citigroup Center, 201 S Biscayne Blvd, Miami.
Kelsey Knight, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of RealBooks, will present the company on stage, delivering its pitch before the investor panel.
GatorPitch is a fast-pitch competition. Each company gets a four-minute pitch followed by three minutes of Q&A before an investor panel. The event showcases a curated group of high-potential companies to South Florida's investor and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Hosted by UF Innovate at the University of Florida, GatorPitch expanded its reach in 2026. Previously open to UF-affiliated startups only, the 2026 competition welcomed Florida-affiliated startups from across the state.
"Real estate investors don't fail at the deal. They get buried in the complexity of accounting and processes that follow it, and tax season becomes a scramble it never needed to be," said Aaron Weikle, Co-Founder & CTO of RealBooks. "Presenting to South Florida's investor community is a chance to show what happens when the numbers finally stay organized all year. That's the problem we're here to solve."
RealBooks solves a problem most investors know well. Expenses live in too many places, project costs blur together, and tax season turns into a scramble. RealBooks ties every expense to the right property, tracks projects in real time, and keeps financial data clean year-round, so investors can stop managing spreadsheets and start managing their portfolio.
