South Florida has a soft spot for big ideas — and an even bigger one for those brave enough to pitch them on national TV. That’s why Go Fund Yourself, airing on Cheddar TV, has quickly become a fan favorite across Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami. It’s more than a show — it’s energy, ambition, and entrepreneurship all rolled into a 60-minute thrill ride.
On October 16 at 7PM ET, Episode 11 returned with two startups that may not hail from Boca, but carry the same fire that fuels our region’s entrepreneurs: the courage to disrupt and the grit to scale.
Why South Florida Tunes In
From Palm Beach boardrooms to Miami tech hubs, founders and investors have embraced Go Fund Yourself as “must-see startup TV.” Unlike traditional pitch shows, this one doesn’t play by closed-door rules. It blends live television, public investment, and the raw stories that make entrepreneurship so human.
Viewers aren’t just watching — they’re participating. They can invest, follow, cheer, and even apply to be next. It’s exactly the kind of democratized innovation culture South Florida celebrates.
Part of the show’s appeal comes from its dynamic Titan panel — a powerhouse mix of entrepreneurs and industry icons who bring equal parts wisdom and adrenaline. They’re the kind of leaders Boca founders admire: self-made, outspoken, and unafraid to back bold ideas when the moment feels right.
Chop Chop — Fighting for the Future of Restaurants
First on stage is Chop Chop, a bold solution born from one of the biggest pain points in hospitality: delivery fees. For years, restaurants have watched third-party apps swallow up to 30% of each order. Chop Chop’s mission is simple — give power back to the kitchen.
Their subscription-based platform lets restaurants:
- Keep their margins
- Own customer relationships
- Deliver faster, without middlemen
It’s the kind of business model that would resonate with every local café on Atlantic Ave or every family-owned bistro in downtown Boca. Chop Chop isn’t just fixing tech — it’s defending passion.

NAQI — Turning Thought Into Action
On the opposite end of the innovation spectrum is NAQI, a company poised to change how we interact with technology — using our minds. Their neural-earbud platform allows users to control digital devices through cognitive intention. No touch. No screens. Just thought.
Imagine:
- Sending messages hands-free
- Gaming without controllers
- Empowering people with disabilities through pure intent
NAQI may not be headquartered in South Florida, but its imagination fits right into our innovation corridor — the same region powering breakthroughs in AI, biotech, robotics, and healthtech.

Why GFY Resonates Here
South Florida is no stranger to reinvention — we’re a magnet for founders, venture studios, and startup dreamers. Go Fund Yourself mirrors that mindset perfectly. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s risk on television.
A Titan on the show put it best:
“We’re not investing in pitches. We’re investing in possibilities.”
That’s exactly the language our community speaks.

Boca to the World: What’s Next?
Episode 11 may feature ventures from beyond our borders, but its message is pure South Florida: dream big, build boldly, pitch loudly. As our region continues to rise as a national hub for innovation, it’s only a matter of time before a Boca founder takes that stage.
Until then — we’ll be watching, cheering, and maybe even investing.
