We’ve helped entrepreneurs meet up with their peers, find co-founders, upskill, hire talent, connect to investors, get ecosystem player support, be accepted into global accelerators, and get millions of dollars in investment deals.

All powered by volunteerism, infectious community energy, and having great partnerships with the government of Jamaica, corporate entities, and international non-profits.

SiliconCaribe was founded in 2007 as a passion project by Ingrid Riley.

“We’re in an era of unparalleled economic opportunity driven by technology. Anyone, anywhere, can use the Internet and other technologies, their creativity, and time to create something transformative. For the Caribbean and the Diaspora, this is a unique chance to innovate, disrupt industries, influence culture, and build lasting wealth for many.
