The Hispanic Entrepreneurs Initiative - HEI Florida - is a 501(c)3 established in 2019 by entrepreneurs who embody the unique characteristics of being immigrants from Latin America, and doing business in the United States. 

We foster economic prosperity in South Florida through entrepreneurship training, mentoring and coaching Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners, with a proven track record of effectiveness for underserved segments of the population.

Becoming a successful entrepreneur in the United States is a transformational journey involving mindset, skills, and knowledge; regardless of the departing point, becoming an empowered individual able to provide value, cast a vision, able to pitch for money, and tracing a path for success, is the goal.

HEI Florida works either in partnership and/or strategic alliances with more than 90 local and regional organizations including financial institutions, local / regional government, corporations, higher education institutions, chambers of commerce, diplomatic corps and other nonprofits, to provide such transformational journey for present and future generations.

Join the cause of Economic Development. Together, we can rewrite the story of Economic Prosperity in the region!
