Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, co-founder and managing partner, Clerisy Where do you see Miami’s startup scene five years from now? Miami’s startup scene has been growing and evolving over the past 5+ years thanks to local organizations supporting entrepreneurship including, but not limited to Endeavor Miami, The Knight Foundation, The Lab, Rokk3r Labs, eMerge Americas, Miami Angels and Wyncode. Many of Miami’s entrepreneurs, investors and startups have historically had ties to Latin America. I think going forward, the Miami tech scene will certainly continue to be a conduit to Latin America as it has been in the past. However, I predict more non-Latin American founders, investors, engineers and operators from cities like New York, LA and San Francisco, will also choose to build their businesses in Miami due to higher quality of life and more attractive tax rates. This dynamic will bring more relevant talent and a larger, more robust tech ecosystem to South Florida. ....

Miami boosters have long pushed the Magic City as the next tech startup hub. Now, a year into the Covid-19 era, their pitch has gained greater appeal, given the widespread embrace of remote work and newfound appreciation for outdoor living spaces. Of course, the friendly tax climate Florida has no personal income taxes and the mild winter weather have long drawn newcomers, as have its enviable position as a gateway to Latin America and its glittering nightlife.

How Miami Is Recruiting Finance And Tech Firms And Maybe Elon Musk South Florida has always had abundant sunshine and no state income tax, but in the past couple of years and especially with the coronavirus pandemic boosting remote work the state is on a run, drawing high-profile billionaires, hedge funds, financial firms and tech companies. And if social media rumblings are to be believed, Miami could soon lure one of the biggest names in the game. Courtesy of Ashkenazy Acquisitions Corp.

It remains unclear what Mana intends to do with space, other than a statement from a representative that the site will remain art-centric. What is happening to the artists at 777 International Mall, on the other hand, seems to be following a familiar pattern in Miami and elsewhere: A deep-pocketed developer buys up property in a neglected area and rents out space at below-market rates to creative types who move in and catalyze gentrification. When market rates rise, the artists are pushed out. But the pandemic, and the stalled economy it engendered, appears to have shaken things up. Anyone who has set foot inside 777 knows the property has been in decline for decades. It opened in 1948 as a 1,850-seat movie house called the Miami Theatre, which closed down in 1978 and subsequently was repurposed as a small shopping center in the 80s. ....
