As part of National Entrepreneurship Month, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava visited The HUB @OfficeLogic, a growing center of innovation that has become a cornerstone for small business development in the county. The visit highlighted the administration’s continued commitment to building an economy that supports opportunity, adaptability, and shared prosperity for all residents.
Located in the heart of Miami, The HUB @OfficeLogic serves as the official home of the Strive305 small business incubator—an initiative designed to provide entrepreneurs with tools, mentorship, and community as they build and grow their ventures. The incubator is overseen by Yamilet Rivas, a Strive305 Ambassador and President of the Women’s Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in the United States. Under her guidance at the HUB, the program has become one of Miami-Dade’s most active platforms for entrepreneurial development, particularly for women- and minority-led enterprises.
The HUB is owned and operated by local entrepreneur Noelle Jackson, whose vision extends beyond providing professional workspace. Jackson has cultivated a thriving ecosystem where founders can launch ideas, scale operations, and prepare for global expansion. Her approach emphasizes collaborative growth, resource-sharing, and a welcoming environment that meets the evolving needs of modern innovators. By fostering a sense of community, The HUB has positioned itself as a vital space for both emerging and established businesses.
During her visit, Mayor Levine-Cava met with several of the more than 120 entrepreneurs who maintain an office presence at the facility. Many shared their business journeys and discussed the opportunities and challenges faced by small business owners in Miami-Dade. The conversations reinforced the significance of The HUB as a platform for local innovation and the importance of public-private partnerships in supporting long-term economic development. The visit also served to highlight Miami-Dade’s growing reputation as a diverse and dynamic destination for entrepreneurial activity.
Strive305, established during the Mayor’s administration, aims to expand access to resources for small business owners at every stage of development—from start-up to expansion. Through incubators such as the one housed at The HUB, Strive305 provides workshops, mentorship, learning opportunities, and connections to funding sources. These efforts are designed to reduce barriers, streamline growth pathways, and strengthen the foundation for small businesses throughout the county.
For The HUB’s community of entrepreneurs, the Mayor’s visit represented an acknowledgment of their work and contributions to the local economy. The engagement underscored the county’s recognition of small businesses as essential drivers of job creation, innovation, and community vitality. It also highlighted the value of supportive environments where entrepreneurs can access guidance, networking opportunities, and a space to develop ideas into sustainable enterprises.
Owner Noelle Jackson’s commitment to fostering an environment where businesses can thrive continues to shape The HUB’s identity. The center has become a space where entrepreneurs are encouraged to develop bold visions while accessing the resources needed for growth. By offering an ecosystem that supports businesses from inception through expansion, The HUB plays a key role in nurturing Miami-Dade’s entrepreneurial landscape.
With National Entrepreneurship Month as the backdrop, Mayor Levine-Cava’s visit to The HUB @OfficeLogic underscored the county’s ongoing efforts to promote inclusive economic growth. The event reflected a broader vision of a Miami-Dade economy that works for everyone, where creativity is nurtured, small businesses are supported, and community-driven leadership helps propel the region forward.
