Miami: the fintech and Latam gateway
Miami has turned into a serious tech hub over the last five years, anchored by crypto, fintech and Latin American trade. The pandemic-era migration of capital and founders out of New York and SF left a durable footprint: Citadel’s HQ move, Kaseya’s enterprise software base, a dense crypto and Web3 scene across Wynwood and Brickell, and a fast-growing cluster of fintechs serving both US Hispanic and Latin American markets. Miami is also the default landing pad for Brazilian, Mexican and Colombian startups pushing into the US.
The scene here is younger and more founder-driven than New York. Teams move fast, ship bilingual products, and expect AI features inside weeks — not quarters.
