Miami vs Silicon Valley: a real tech hub or tax evasion?

Miami is attracting Peter Thiel, Larry Page, and hundreds of investment funds, but is it the new tech capital of the U.S. or simply a convenient tax destination? We analyze the real data behind the boom.

Tech employment in Miami-Dade grew 25%, and office rents quadrupled since the pandemic. Real capital is moving, but Silicon Valley wasn’t built with money first: it innovated first, and the money came later. Miami is taking the reverse path, and that matters.

We also discuss the impact on longtime residents, displacement driven by the cost of living, and why Miami’s true differentiator isn’t being a Palo Alto clone but becoming Latin America’s tech hub. Subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode, and hit like if you found the analysis useful.
