Operators who understood the problem before they built against it.
Thank you for your service — and for what you are still building.

Why are founders moving to Florida’s Gold Coast?
According to @eMergeAmericas CEO & Co-Founder Melissa Medina @melmedina305, it all comes down to:
1. Capital
2. Opportunity
In Florida’s Gold Coast, founders have the opportunity to make their mark on one of America’s fastest-growing tech hubs.

I really do love what we do. Bringing together Cubans, Italians, Persians, and many more to build and drive tech & innovation in our home city and state. Epic!! @eMergeAmericas 🚀🚀🚀
Only in America, a Persian genius can build a $ 40B+ company backed by @JeffBezos and a world class Italian Asset Manager. My trifecta.
Miami AI Summit exceeded all my expectations. It was big enough to bring in the industry leaders, and small enough for building real connections. The eMerge Effect.
@AnthropicAI, @nvidia, @Microsoft, @amazon, @huggingface, @PrometheusInc, @jpmorgan, etc. you name it, they were there.
One my favorite moments was this intimate setting with:
- @Azizzadenesheli, Co-founder of @PrometheusInc (+40B+ valuation) who’s not only a top tier engineer but also a great teacher who simplified complicated concepts for us. He’s tackling some of the hardest problems in the world by deep understanding of physical intelligence.
- Maria Grazia Sonzogni, CEO of Azimut Group in the US ($200B AUM) and one of the investors of Prometheus. An older sister to me and a visionary executive who's funding our future leaders and their visions.
- @FrancisSuarez, former Mayor of Miami, who’s been one of the main actors of transforming Miami into its golden age. And the reason many talents moved here. Thank you Mayor.
- And my brother @TJVillamil, President of Business Development at @eMergeAmericas, who similar to Francis, has been championing South Florida and specially Miami nationally and internationally.
People from all walks of life, working hard to push the humanity forward, and private investors and government officials support their vision.
This is the current state of Miami.
This my American dream.
Thank you Manny Medina, @melmedina305, Tony Jimenez, @burhansebin, and the rest of the eMerge team for having us and for the implacable event you put together.
Onwards and upwards.
One love ❤️

The future is bright! Love this!
It’s crazy watching this video of @nabs_labs interviewing @ashergenoot.
When Nabs was 13 years old, Asher took a bet on him and made him Chief Meme Officer.
Fast forward 5 years and Asher is now CEO of @Hut8Corp a massive player at the intersection of energy/compute.
And Nabs now at 18 has 1/2m subs on YouTube and is building/supporting an insane community of founders.
Founders back founders.
The numbers behind #eMergeAmericas speak for themselves 📈 Thousands of attendees, investors from around the world, founders from dozens of countries, and millions in capital raised, all in one place.
