SUMMARY:The Bridge: Tech & Gender Equity
DESCRIPTION:While Miami has made significant progress in becoming a thriving tech hub\, there is one crucial area that still requires attention: the representation of women in the industry. Recent data shows that only 23% of tech professionals in Miami are women\, highlighting the urgent need to uplift and address the role of women in the city’s tech scene. \nIn an effort to bridge this gap\, we’ve partnered up with the Women’s Fund for the launch of their groundbreaking project\, the Gender Equity Index.

Connect and enjoy complimentary refreshments with Miami’s key players! \nWe’re hosted on the first floor of the Converge Miami Building\, located at 1951 NW 7th Ave\, Miami\, FL 33136. \nThe building offers a parking lot for your convenience\, which is available for use. Bring your parking ticket with you so we can validate your ticket on the way out – validation lasts for 15 minutes.

DESCRIPTION:Miami is home to a colorfully diverse population of people from different ethnic\, religious\, cultural\, and gender backgrounds 🦩. The unique perspectives that each group brings to the table are essential in breeding innovation\, and without them there wouldn’t be the unparalleled collaboration that exists in South Florida! \nUnfortunately\, not all communities share the same representation in our local innovation ecosystem. In fact\, last year  just 11% of the total VC that came into South FL went to companies with at least one female founder. At a national level\, Black entrepreneurs received less than 2% of all VC dollars\, while LGBTQ+ individuals are about 17-21% less represented in the STEM workforce when compared to the percentage of the population that they make up. \nAt Venture Café Miami\, we are deeply committed to fostering a more diverse and inclusive innovation ecosystem. That’s why in this gathering we’ll dive into all things DEIB! During this experience\, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with local leaders who are actively working to make our innovation community more inclusive\, and participate in interactive activities that will help you gain valuable insights. \nLet’s come together to celebrate the incredible diversity that exists within our ecosystem and discover how we can make it more welcoming to all!

SUMMARY:10 Days of Connection
