PowerMoves, a New Orleans-based group that seeks to foster diversity in tech, is expanding to Miami with help from the Knight Foundation.
Last week, the Knight Foundation gifted $1.2 million to Code2040, an organization committed to placing black and Latino students at top tech companies. The nonprofit group is now investing the same amount in PowerMoves, an initiative started in New Orleans with a similar mission to support entrepreneurs of color. The new funding will help PowerMoves raise its profile with another location in Miami, which already has a base of emerging entrepreneurs.
