Miami is booming with new businesses, but don’t take it wrong — when we say business — it’s not just limited to fancy beachy nightclubs or stunning sunset view vacation resorts, we mean The Tech Business — The Black Tech Startups. Sunset resorts can’t be ignored though😉.

Miami! It’s a hotspot. Nothing less than an emerging Silicon Valley of the south. Although the pandemic was of no good to the world, the tech space in South Florida gained momentum and exponentiated the growth by attracting hundreds of startups within two years from mega hubs like New York, Austin, and even the Silicon Valley itself.

However, it’s not just about attracting or relocating the existing ones, a large number of new startups have been launched in South Florida, especially in Miami. And the best part? They are mostly Black-owned and operated. Black tech startups are on the rise in Miami and you can’t miss the ones listed here on BlackPagesMiami.com as all of these businesses deserve your attention. After all, it’s the community that stands for its people.
