Code Fever Miami, is dedicated to dramatically shifting the way Black and minority communities engage with, contribute to, and are valued by the innovation sector. The company focuses on building assets and talent filled spaces within the black community while bridging the innovation gap within the black community and the greater entrepreneurial ecosystem. The hub of operations is housed in their Coworking Space, A Space Called Tribe, in Miami's historic Overtown, which also features an urban innovation lab for underserved high growth minority entrepreneurs. Code Fever Miami aims to utilize Tribe to impact youth and adults within low opportunity, high potential communities. The youth programming focuses on increasing the number of students pursuing STEM fields and equipping them with the fundamental skills required to successfully operate in the STEM industry. The adult programming aims to increase general access and understanding of opportunities in the fields of technology and entrepreneurship. The long-term success of these programs is two-fold: an increased wealth of qualified minorities to fill positions within the technological ecosystem and an increase in the number of minority­founded, venture­backed, high­growth businesses in the United States.
