South Florida Demo Day
Miami, FL —8/25/2025

Smartbill, the end-to-end utility management platform built for the Corporate Housing and Property Management Industry, has been recognized as one of the Top 10 Startups at the SPARC South Florida 2025 Demo Day, presented by The Source.

Smartbill simplifies one of the biggest operational pain points in temporary housing and real estate management: utilities. By managing the entire lifecycle: from setup, monthly bill pay, troubleshooting, and disconnection. Smartbill eliminates missed payments, late fees, and service interruptions for property managers and their guests.

“Smartbill represents the kind of problem-solving innovation that SPARC exists to spotlight,” said Hilmon Sorey, Founder of the Source. “Their focus on delivering operational excellence in an overlooked but critical area positions them as a company to watch.”

Ted Lucas, Founder at The Source, added: “At The Source, we are committed to fueling founders who are building impactful solutions. Smartbill’s traction with corporate housing providers and their customer-obsessed approach made them a clear standout at this year’s Demo Day.”

The SPARC South Florida program brings together the region’s most promising startups, culminating in a Demo Day where founders pitch for a chance to advance toward up to $1,000,000 in investment through the Startup World Cup, powered by Pegasus Tech Ventures.

“Being named a Top 10 Startup by SPARC and The Source is an incredible honor,” said Maria Estela Duarte, founder of Smartbill. “Our mission is to make utility management seamless, reliable, and stress-free for corporate housing providers and property managers. Recognition from leaders like SPARC and The Source validates the importance of solving this industry challenge.”
