Tech Equity Miami

"Miami is really positioning itself to be a global hub for innovation. We saw post pandemic upwards of 900 people per day moving to our area. We also saw some of the highest rates of deployment of venture capital, exceeding over 4.5 billion dollars in the year following the pandemic. And what that means is that we have to have talent to serve these companies that are choosing to make Miami the place to scale and grow their businesses." -Leigh-Ann Buchanan on Tech Equity Miami Learn more about TEM's exponential impact through collaborative investment at techequitymiami.org https://buff.ly/4bwFmiI #TechEquityMiami #TechInclusion #MiamiTech #Upskilling #DigitalTransformation #SmallBusinesses #Nonprofit #Community #MiamiEducation #SocialImpact #SocialPurpose #SouthFloridaTech #Miami #News

"There is no question that Miami is a diverse community, it's in the data, it's in the numbers. We are predominantly minority in Miami, and I think it's really important for those organizations that are part of building the future tech ecosystem of South Florida to make sure that is top of mind. Something that's been part of our core business from the beginning is making sure that we're representing what we believe our community is composed of." - Melissa Medina Learn more about TEM's exponential impact through collaborative investment at techequitymiami.org https://buff.ly/3xjBkwd #TechEquityMiami #TechInclusion #MiamiTech #Upskilling #DigitalTransformation #SmallBusinesses #Nonprofit #Community #MiamiEducation #SocialImpact #SocialPurpose #SouthFloridaTech #Miami #News

"What we saw in the pandemic, even nationally, is 41% of black small businesses failed across the country. They weren't able to access PPP, funding and other incentives. And it's principally because they haven't gone through the process of taking their business online." -Leigh-Ann Buchanan on Tech Equity Miami's Digital Transformation pillar Learn more about TEM's exponential impact through collaborative investment at techequitymiami.org #TechEquityMiami #TechInclusion #MiamiTech #Upskilling #DigitalTransformation #SmallBusinesses #Nonprofit #Community #MiamiEducation #SocialImpact #SocialPurpose #SouthFloridaTech #Miami #News https://buff.ly/4bwFmiI
