Silicon valley has ruled the tech world since the term got coined by Don Hoefler in January 11, 1971. Silicon valley's growth can be attributed to the growth of IBM and then subsequently numerous companies.
Miami on the other has always known as a retirement city. Not anymore but. Leading investment firm Softbank has committed USD 100 million specifically for Miami startups. Miami mayor Francis Suarez is extending his full support.
Miami offers cheaper real estate and warmer climate than Silicon Valley. It is also seeing active migration of tech employees. All ingredients for success. Besides Tech Real Estate could be a big opportunity for the early movers.
Below are embedded tweets by noteworthy people on Miami.

Excited to welcome @EightSleep to the @SoftBank family! Proud to invest in our first Latina co-founded company through the SB Opportunity Fund. I can personally say I haven’t lost any sleep over this decision, my Pod Pro mattress doesn’t let me. https://t.co/lFrWB07zdB pic.twitter.com/sYdBMo9sl3
