Digital Lab Miami · Investor information
Invest in practical systems that help small businesses move faster.
Digital Lab Miami is a veteran-owned technology venture led by an 18-year technology engineer. We are building clear, service-led Ai automation, web, and custom-system solutions for business owners who need time back—not another complicated tool.
Current stage: pre-revenue with a live interactive demonstration. The demonstration is product proof; it is not a claim of completed scale, paid subscriber volume, or achieved revenue.
Investor snapshot
A focused launch case with transparent starting conditions.
The opportunity is to help Digital Lab Miami move from a working demonstration to a disciplined, client-ready operating capability built around early users, responsible delivery, and measurable learning.
Why this problem matters
Small businesses carry a large share of the work—and too much repeat work still happens by hand.
The U.S. small-business base is broad, and Digital Lab Miami is designed to address familiar operating friction: lead follow-up, customer messages, content planning, scheduling, and the handoffs between them.
Owners need operating room.
Messages, follow-up, content, and lead handling can compete with the work of serving customers. The starting point is one clearly defined business process that needs to become more reliable.
Ai investment is substantial, but the customer experience must remain practical.
Independent market sources describe both a growing process-automation category and a much larger global Ai investment buildout. Those figures show demand momentum; they are not a revenue forecast or a direct addressable-market calculation for Digital Lab Miami.
Miami-Dade can become a stronger technology-services ecosystem.
Digital Lab Miami intends to contribute by helping local owners understand and apply useful systems. The aim is better capacity and more consistent service—not an unsupported promise of economic outcomes.
Market context, not a valuation claim: the U.S. Small Business Administration reports 36.2 million small businesses, representing 99.9% of U.S. businesses. Goldman Sachs Research estimates $1 trillion of global Ai-related investment in 2026, while a commercial business-process-automation estimate places that narrower category at $22.3 billion in 2026. See sources 1–4 below.
What Digital Lab Miami will deliver
A service model built around the work a business needs handled.
The operating model begins with a business need, designs a practical system, reviews the appropriate controls, and measures the result. Higher-complexity custom systems are separately scoped and priced.
Follow-up, response, and internal workflows.
Practical systems for customer communication, lead-response preparation, scheduling support, and routine information handoffs with appropriate review controls.
Content and web capability that supports the service.
Business websites, blog content, digital assistants, and customer-facing information tools that connect to a clear operating purpose.
Designed around the actual bottleneck.
Custom applications, integrations, and technology consulting for work that does not fit a ready-made package. Each custom solution is reviewed before scope or payment is requested.
Product proof
The live demo makes the intended client experience visible today.
On a scheduled call, a visitor describes the work slowing their business down and sees a useful example: an automation design, customer follow-up system, social plan, blog workflow, or structured project request. The demo is run live by Mr. Davis or another designated representative — that experience is proof of product direction, not proof of commercial scale.
Revenue model and planning assumptions
A simple subscription framework, shown as assumptions—not promises.
Planned subscriptions are intended to make practical automation accessible while separate custom projects are scoped independently. The illustrative figures below are subscription-only planning scenarios; they are not achieved revenue or a guarantee of future performance.
| Planning checkpoint | Subscription-ramp assumption | Illustrative subscription revenue | Illustrative exit run rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 Months 1–12 | Ramp from 0 to 75 active subscriptions; 37.5 average active subscriptions at an assumed $49 monthly average. | $22,050 during the first 12 months | $44,100 annualized at month 12 |
| First 18 months Cumulative | Add months 13–18: 112.5 average active subscriptions at an assumed $79 monthly average. | $75,375 cumulative through month 18 | $142,200 annualized at month 18 |
| Year 2 Months 13–24 | Add months 19–24: 225 average active subscriptions at an assumed $99 monthly average. | $186,975 during months 13–24 $209,025 cumulative through month 24 | $356,400 annualized at month 24 |
Formula: average active subscriptions × assumed average monthly subscription × months in the period. These planning cases exclude one-time implementation work, training, pilot sponsorship, custom builds, churn, taxes, refunds, sales cost, support cost, payment processing, and operating expenses. They are not forecasts, offers of investment returns, or representations of current revenue.
Full launch capital ask
$5Million To fully launch Digital Lab Miami's two-part mission: the technology & automation solutions business, and the technology-education program, from a single owned facility.
What full launch capital is intended to build.
This is a provisional planning budget for a 24-month runway: a modern, owned tech-hub facility that houses both the client-delivery business and a hands-on classroom program for students of all ages, a lean 7-person team led by a veteran founder, the software and development platforms needed for professional application delivery, and the marketing, legal, insurance, and cash-flow reserve a responsible launch requires. Figures are provisional planning estimates, not audited results, and remain subject to final vendor quotes, real-estate appraisal, and an approved operating plan.
| Provisional planning category | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Tech hub facility — purchase & construction/build-out | $1,900,000 | Acquire and build out an owned facility with a client-delivery studio, dedicated education classrooms/labs, and demo space — replacing lease dependency with a durable asset. |
| Staff of 7 — salaries & payroll burden (24 months) | $1,750,000 | Fully-loaded compensation (base + payroll taxes, benefits, workers’ comp) for the principal/founder and 6 roles across development, instruction, business development, marketing, and operations. |
| Working capital & cash-flow reserve | $350,000 | Runway buffer to smooth payroll, vendor, and facility obligations against ramping — not yet fully predictable — client and enrollment revenue. |
| Furniture, equipment & classroom/production technology | $220,000 | Workstations, servers/networking, classroom AV, and production equipment for both the tech business and the education program. |
| Marketing campaigns & materials | $300,000 | Brand, local advertising, content production, and enrollment/client-acquisition campaigns across both business lines. |
| Software subscriptions, dev frameworks & platforms | $150,000 | Professional software-development tooling, cloud/hosting infrastructure, security, and delivery platforms for 24 months. |
| Insurance (general liability, property, E&O, workers’ comp) | $110,000 | Coverage appropriate to an owned facility, a staffed team, and a public-facing education program. |
| Utilities | $100,000 | Facility power, internet/connectivity, water, and building services for 24 months. |
| Required licensing, permits & accreditation | $60,000 | Business licensing, occupancy/construction permits, and education-program certification/accreditation steps. |
| Legal, accounting & contingency | $60,000 | Formation, contracts, tax/accounting setup, and unallocated launch-variance capacity. |
| Total | $5,000,000 | Subject to final vendor quotes, real-estate terms, approved operating plan, and funding restrictions. |
Staff of 7, including the principal: Founder/CEO, VP of Technology & Lead Automation Engineer, Full-Stack Developer, Education Director & Lead Instructor, Business Development & Client Success Manager, Marketing & Community Manager, and Operations & Office Manager.
Responsible growth
The objective is to earn trust through measurable, controlled delivery.
Automation is not presented as a replacement for sound judgment. Digital Lab Miami will identify a defined business process, establish appropriate owner controls, document permitted evidence, and report results with clear limitations.
Begin with usable, limited client outcomes.
Focus the launch on clear use cases that can be configured, supported, and evaluated responsibly before expanding breadth.
Report what works and what needs improvement.
Use defined before-and-after measures where permission and data quality allow. Do not claim revenue, replacement of human judgment, or autonomous outcomes without evidence.
Build locally useful infrastructure.
Miami-Dade is growing its innovation ecosystem. Digital Lab Miami seeks to help business owners gain speed, consistency, and capacity while offering approachable technology education for complete beginners.
Investor questions, answered
What a prospective supporter should know before starting a conversation.
These answers are designed to make the current stage and the boundaries of the opportunity clear. Additional diligence materials can be developed for a qualified discussion.
What is the current stage of Digital Lab Miami?
Digital Lab Miami is pre-revenue. It has a live interactive demonstration that shows the intended client experience and capability pathways. The demo is product proof, not evidence of completed commercial scale.
What problem is the venture solving?
The focus is practical operating friction for small organizations: new-lead follow-up, customer communication, content production, social planning, scheduling, and the handoffs between these activities.
How is revenue intended to be earned?
Planned monthly subscriptions are expected to range from $29 to $149, depending on service level. Custom systems, integrations, and implementation work are separate, individually scoped services.
What does the live demo prove?
It demonstrates the interaction model: a business owner describes a need and sees a useful, understandable pathway for handling it. It does not prove customer retention, subscription volume, revenue, or independent client outcomes.
How would official-launch support be used?
The provisional use-of-funds plan supports product infrastructure, secure operating tools, outreach, early-user delivery, workspace and equipment, and responsible business foundations. Each category is subject to final quotes and funding restrictions.
What makes the Miami-Dade angle credible?
Miami-Dade County is leading a federally designated regional technology-hub initiative for risk and resilience. Digital Lab Miami is not claiming affiliation with that initiative; it sees a compatible opportunity to build practical technology capacity for local small businesses.
How will progress be evaluated?
The launch plan calls for limited early use cases, explicit review controls, responsible data handling, and documented results where client permission and data quality permit. Pricing, retention, service capacity, and acquisition cost must be validated before growth claims are made.
Is this page a securities offering or a promise of return?
No. This page is informational. It does not offer securities, define investment terms, make a valuation claim, or promise a financial return. Any formal funding arrangement requires appropriate legal, accounting, and investor-specific documentation.
