The city of North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency will be hosting its third annual “Teach to Fish: NoMi Business Summit” this week, featuring keynote speaker Timbaland.
Timbaland’s music career spans two decades as a record producer, rapper, singer and highly successful entrepreneur. Timbaland, whose real name is Timothy Zachery Mosley, has also co-founded the Verzuz webcast series and established Mosley Music Group, situating himself as a true businessman and entrepreneur in the industry.
“Timbaland is not only an iconic figure in the music industry, but a brilliant entrepreneur who has built successful, long-lasting businesses. His journey from producer to business mogul is an inspiring story of innovation, risk-taking, and resilience — qualities that are vital to any entrepreneur. We are honored to have him share his insights and strategies with our attendees,” said Councilwoman Kassandra Timothe in a press release.

Our goal is to help entrepreneurs build their equity and secure a prosperous future,” said Timothe.
The three-day event will begin Wednesday night with a welcome mixer at NoMi Village, followed by two full days of engagement at the FIU campus. Attendees can expect inspiring keynote speeches from visionary entrepreneurs and successful business leaders, hands-on workshops addressing real-world business challenges, strategic networking with fellow peers and industry experts, and exclusive opportunities for funding and resources.
