When we think about building Miami’s economic future, we know it’s critical to be a place that creates lots of new jobs. Studies show that virtually all new job growth comes from companies five years or younger. If Miami’s job sectors are to grow, then this means being a place that launches lots of high-growth tech companies — which Miami’s doing better than ever.
But it also means that Miami needs to be a place that launches lots of micro- and medium-sized business — which may never be considered high-growth, but which employ lots of people across the community.
How do we empower entrepreneurs across the board? Can public policy shape our local entrepreneurial ecosystem? We explore on the Opportunity Miami podcast with Victor Hwang, founder of Right to Start, and Pilar Guzman Zavela, CEO of Half Moon Empanadas.
