We at Miami AI Club are working very hard to push ourselves forward by always being ahead of the curve, whether it’s curated events like AI Healthrush, AI Lawfare, AI Cyberwar, or our Private Dinner Series.1
The Private Dinner Trilogy, sponsored by Vultr, Holland & Knight, Reco AI, WeSoftYou, and Teneo, was a platform for cross-industry conversations around AI. The captured conversations will be part of the Miami AI Club docuseries.
Vultr is a local cloud provider with a global reach and a wide range of cloud computing services. Their services are ideal for AI teams concerned with the EU AI Act. If you’re in South Florida, you know Kevin Cochrane is a big supporter of our tech ecosystem.
Holland & Knight LLP is one of the most prestigious law firms that are startup friendly. I have known Matthew Grosack for over a decade; he is a mensch and he’s doing a great job on M&A. Daniel Barsky has wide knowledge of IP and the legal side of AI, which is very important.
Reco AI is addressing a big pain point for cybersecurity teams: your security relies on the cybersecurity posture of your hundreds of SaaS providers. The team is solid under Ofer Klein leadership, and it now has Merritt Baer as the CISO.
WeSoftYou Inc. is a top 1% global software development company (according to Clutch) from Ukraine with 100% positive feedback. The CEO, Maksym Petruk is local, and I recommend having a meeting with him.
Teneo is a communication and strategy management company with prominent global names as their customers, including AI companies. The president of risk advisory, Courtney Adante, is a Miami AI Club member and an excellent resource for cyber risk, especially deepfakes. Sparky Zivin, the global head of Teneo Research, flew from Washington DC and shared interesting insights at the third dinner.

Miami AI Club is leading in many ways; throughout this progress, people have always helped us move forward. I’m thankful for the MAIC sponsors.
