Refresh Miami Inc.

Help Us Keep Telling Miami’s Tech Story

For nearly 20 years, Refresh Miami has been the heartbeat of South Florida’s tech ecosystem - telling the stories of the founders, investors, and operators building the future of our city.

We started in 2006 as a small grassroots meetup. Today, we are:

• The only dedicated tech and startup news publication in South Florida
• A community hub connecting thousands of founders and operators

• A trusted resource for anyone who wants to understand what’s happening in Miami tech

• Always free - never behind a paywall

Your support ensures Miami’s tech story continues to be told authentically, consistently, and accessibly for everyone.

Why Your Donation Matters

Miami is at a critical inflection point. As our tech ecosystem grows, so does the need for:

• Reliable, independent reporting that shines a light on local startups

• Spaces where builders connect, learn from each other, and feel less alone

• Programs that help retain talent, making Miami a true home for ambitious operators

Without this connective tissue, ecosystems stall. With it, ecosystems thrive.

Refresh Miami exists to make sure Miami continues to grow in the right way - with storytelling, community, and belonging at its core.

Your gift keeps that work alive.
