The Founding 100 is an exclusive recognition program honoring the first businesses, organizations, creators, and community leaders who choose to help build the NineFifteen Community.
This isn't sponsorship. This is legacy.
Years from now, when NineFifteen has impacted thousands across South Florida and beyond, every Founding 100 member will still be recognized as one of the organizations that believed first.
Because every great movement begins with a small group of believers. Become part of the story before everyone knows the name.
They're built by businesses that choose collaboration over competition. By entrepreneurs who support one another. By local brands that believe a stronger Miami benefits everyone.
The Founding 100 recognizes those who chose to invest in community before it became popular.
Sponsorship is something you buy. The Founding 100 is something you are. Here's the line we draw — on purpose.
Already backing NineFifteen? You're already one of the believers. Every founding-era sponsor is invited to claim their seat among the Founding 100 — because you didn't wait for the crowd.
Every Founding Partner receives an exclusive digital badge. Identical in every detail except the designation, so the whole program reads as one prestigious mark. Imagine it in embossed gold foil on your storefront.
Display it proudly on your website, email signature, social media, marketing materials, storefront, and presentation decks.
We're looking for organizations that improve the lives of ambitious professionals. If your mission aligns with helping people grow, we'd love to meet you.
