Exponential Impact through Collaborative Investment

We’re building a consortium of donors who want to have systemic impact. The challenges facing the tech ecosystem system today need multi-faceted support. Momentum Miami has gathered the most impactful programs– as demonstrated through our data collection and impact reporting– and is matching them with donors who are dedicated partners in improving access to the benefits of technology.

Benefits

MM has identified, vetted, and onboarded the organizations creating a thriving tech ecosystem: Access to high quality STEM education, connecting talent to employers, and providing digital modernization for small businesses.
