Refreshed May 7, 2026

Miami’s tech ecosystem has flourished after local entrepreneurs, startups, and founders innovate and others flock to the Southeast.

PRO TIP: We interviewed many of the influencers driving the movement, including Mayor Francis Suarez of Miami and Mayor Daniella Levine Cava of Miami-Dade County. Check out the videos here.

The community of Miami tech reporters spotlights homegrown talent and identifies growing companies within our sector. That includes coverage of Carve clients like hybrid venture capital fund and angel investor network Florida Funders (recognized as the top VC in the Southeast region), next-generation hospitality brand Sextant Stays, and home improvement delivery platform, iDrop. 

If your tech business is looking to grow Awareness, Authority, Activation, and Engagement in South Florida, here are some Miami tech reporters you should know:

Miami Reporters and Tech Reporters to Know

Ashley Portero

Portero covers everything from the growing tech and innovation scene, established companies expanding into Miami, entrepreneurs, and funding impacting the region at the South Florida Business Journal and Miami Inno. I can always count on her expert grasp of the local tech scene to tell a story that speaks to a broad audience.

Nancy Dahlberg

Known as the “Godmother of Miami Tech,” Dahlberg currently writes for Refresh Miami, the hub of Miami Tech with a mission to educate, inspire, connect and grow South Florida’s startup ecosystem. She is prominent in the local community and shares her insights on the market and tips on approaching her with pitches at events. (You can catch her knowledge in our #MiamiTech videos, too!). At Carve, Dahlberg has been my go-to for telling our clients’ growth stories and delivers an occasional LOL during our exchanges. She’s also eager for the scoop and proactively reaches out in search of a good story. I appreciate that!
