Good morning. Fortune editor-at-large Michal Lev-Ram here, filling in for Alan.
I’m writing from Miami, where spring break is in full force—for better or worse. Fortune is here for a less rowdy celebration, a gathering of some of the city’s growing number of entrepreneurs.
About 20 of them joined us at a dinner last night, including the founders of Cameo, which sells personalized celebrity video messages; Eight Sleep, maker of high-tech mattresses; Novo, a banking platform for small businesses; and a web3 community for underrepresented women called The Sisterverse; among others. The group of entrepreneurs, many of whom are also CEOs of their companies, represented a diverse set of sectors and backgrounds. But one of their more surprising commonalities was their connection to one person: the mayor of Miami, Francis Suarez.
