The most bullish thing happening in Miami tech this week wasn’t a funding round. It was this room. Six years ago, I had my first coffee with @chest in Coconut Grove after an intro from then-Mayor @FrancisSuarez and @jackabraham. Chester told me he was going all in on Miami. Not “Miami” as a trade. Miami and Florida as a community. And he did. He and Jack and team showed up personally. @atomicvc planted roots. Atomic built companies here, hired here, invested here and keeps building here. Now fast-forward to this week: Chest is sitting with the first cohort of student founders at Link College, sharing what he’s learned with kids taking their first swings. That’s the flywheel. The people who came here to build are now helping raise the generation that builds after them. Huge respect to Chest for understanding that ecosystems aren’t something you join. You leave them stronger than you found them. Building season never stopped.
