Venture Cafe Miami – Big Money, Investing Locally & Cultivating Millennial Talent
Connecting Innovators -> To Make Things Happen.
We’re soft-launching our weekly Thursday Gatherings with a focus on you. The Innovator. The person with amazing ideas that will reshape our neighborhoods, our community, our city, our world- for the better. How might you turn your great idea into action? We believe connecting with other innovators is a great place to start.
Our Thursday Gatherings serve as a physical nexus for helping innovators and entrepreneurs find one another and collaborate to bring their dreams to reality. And, hey, the $25,000 of no-strings-attached grant money up for grabs this week at our featured event, Overtown Pitch Night, by Urban Philanthropies, doesn’t hurt either. Come meet Miami’s next crop of game-changing entrepreneurs and learn about their awesome business ideas.
