**The Partnership Story**
Once upon a time In 2024, when DeepStation needed a new home, we discovered Miami Tech Works’ Miami Tech Talent Coalition Meeting. There I met the incredible team: Terri-Ann Brown, Jon Q. Adell, Sheena Johns, and Johannes Quiles.
The team provided us with excellent advisory and support as we grew our workforce development services. We would not be where we are today without the team shaping the future of Miami at Miami Tech Works.
We also fortunately met Antonio Delgado Fornaguera, who introduced me to Pedro A Santos Acosta. After touring the AI Center at Miami Dade College, which became our home 1 year ago, I continued attending Coalition meetings throughout 2025.
Now, after many conversations and due diligence, we're officially partners with a shared mission. Thank you Miami Tech Works for supporting us to help people stay ahead of the AI wave!
**Miami Tech Coalition Meeting**
I personally discovered the immense value that the Miami Tech Talent Coalition Meetings can provide to ecosystem partners, and I encourage you to join the next meeting on September 3rd if you want to help build the Miami Tech Ecosystem together.
