What is Miami Business Assembly?
Miami Business Assembly is a private, curated forum bringing together business owners, executives, investors and professionals to build relationships, exchange opportunities and help one another grow. Founded by entrepreneur Leon Stoltz, it assembles the right people around a specific need, question, decision or opportunity rather than around a fixed schedule. Assemblies are held regularly in Miami or online, with participation intentionally limited to keep the room focused and valuable. Participants describe what they are working on, what they need and what experience they can share, and Miami Business Assembly curates who should be in the room. It grew out of earlier Friday morning gatherings, which remain part of its history.
The facts, plainly
- What it is
- A private, curated forum — one room, assembled per session, where participants build relationships, exchange opportunities and help one another grow.
- Where
- Assemblies are held regularly in Miami or online. The exact place or link is shared once a seat is confirmed.
- When
- When there is a reason to assemble the right people. There is no fixed weekly cadence, and participation is intentionally limited to keep the room focused and valuable.
- Who participates
- Business owners, executives, investors, founders and experienced professionals who are actively building, running, funding or advising a business.
- How you get a seat
- You submit a request describing what you are working on, what you need and what you can share. Requests are reviewed. Nobody registers themselves into a room.
- Cost
- Participation is currently complimentary. There is no membership and no ticket.
- Founded by
- Leon Stoltz, continuing Friday morning gatherings he began years earlier in Atlanta. Presented by STOLTZ ONE™.
- Confidentiality
- Discretion is expected. The gathering is not conducted under a mutual nondisclosure agreement, and each participant decides what to share.
What it is not
Not a networking event
No pitches, no card exchange, no referral quota, no round-the-room introductions as the point of the morning.
Not a paid membership
No dues, no initiation fee, no tier. Comparable organizations sell membership; Miami Business Assembly curates a room.
Not a coaching program
There is no Chair, facilitator or coach selling a methodology. The expertise in the room is the product.
Not a sales channel
Advisors and vendors are welcome as participants, not as prospectors. Treating the table as pipeline is the one reliable way not to be invited back.
When capital is part of the question
Participants may include founders considering outside capital and investors with experience evaluating or funding businesses. When capital is relevant to the conversation, Miami Business Assembly may curate appropriate investment experience into the room. It does not raise capital, broker investments, guarantee introductions, vet securities or endorse any investment. Funding is treated as one business need among many.
