“Why Miami?” is a question Jason Inasi heard for years, back when building tech here felt like swimming against the current.

He founded The Factory Interactive in 1998, rode through every version of Miami’s tech identity, and stayed long enough to watch the talent equation flip.

What he says Miami uniquely gives founders, and what was hardest early on, is the part that hits home.

Small datasets are one of the hardest realities in healthcare AI, and they can make “state of the art” models fall apart fast.

A @FloridaAtlantic University team in Boca Raton is testing quantum machine learning approaches, in simulation and on real quantum hardware, to see what actually holds up when training data is deliberately limited.

The comparison setup, and what it implies for Miami and South Florida healthtech, is the part to watch.

$2M just went into a Miami sports tech startup that started with a simple question from inside a pro basketball org: when non-contact injuries show up, what is the actionable next step?

OnSport AI is using computer vision and machine learning to turn athlete movement into an early warning signal. The round was led by overseas basketball team owners, and the operator angle is the part worth watching.

@WIRED  called tech conferences “mostly very boring”, so it came to Wynwood and tried something else.

Its inaugural WIRED World Fair at The Sacred Space mixed big names, hands-on experiences, and a future-facing lineup that jumped from open-source AI to women’s sports ownership to de-extinction.

The interesting part is what Miami signaled by being the first host city, and what that could change about how the tech world shows up here.

Nonprofits do not just “take donations,” they juggle chapters, restricted grants, committees, and reporting that never stops.

A Fort Lauderdale fintech launched in 2022 is trying to remove that back office drag, and its newest release brings AI into the workflow.

The interesting part is the problem it chose to solve first, and why legacy tools keep failing nonprofit operators.
