Now it’s time to explore 3 more organizational incubator leaders of business to bring into your innermost circle of influence.

  1. Refresh Miami

Did you know Refresh Miami was the” largest technology networking and educational group” in Miami with 9,000 members and an average of 400 attendees per event? They got their amazing start as a meetup at a South Beach Starbucks in April 2006, and since then have hosted hundreds of meetups & events inviting the Miami tech community to network all across gorgeous South Florida and beyond. For them, it’s all about the community, the “tech community” per se.

Why it Works: You can scoop out events at different locations across Miami on their event calendar. Become a Sponsor! You will be in good company with the likes of the Knight Foundation, Microsoft, Rokk3r Labs, University of Miami and BrightGauge.

“Our principal focus will be to provide the community with a steady stream of educational content focused on the technological and entrepreneurial communities. “-Refresh Miami

  1. SCORE Miami Dade

With over 50 years as a Florida business leader and a network of over 13,000 volunteers, SCORE has been mentoring entrepreneurs and established businesses to greatness for a very long time. They are passionate about mentorship, aligning a more experienced, knowledgeable and well-connected business professional with their peers. Not local to Miami? No problem, just try one of their many online workshops, so you as an entrepreneur or business can increasingly develop that edge.

Why it Works: You can nominate a business, even your own for their new SCORE Miami Business & Leadership Awards set to premier in October 2016. They also offer downloadable templates on 21 core business topics including “Accounting & Budgeting, Business Planning, Cash flow Management, Social Media and Networking” and more. If you need to locate any kind of entrepreneurial advice or resource, don’t worry. With their long history of credibility and networking clout, they got it. For that, we at StartHub Miami are definitely fans.

“I highly recommend working with MIAMI Dade SCORE. Their services and support were integral in helping develop my business from project to operational. From financing to marketing, my mentor provided useful insights. Counting on them throughout my startup phase was almost like having a partner in business.” —Juan Brandt/ Sky Zone Miami
