Pana MIA Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in South Florida.
We are an inclusive South Florida Locals’ Directory representing entrepreneurs, creatives, and organizations of all backgrounds. Our mission is to empower the local community by providing essential tools to unite resources, insights, reach, and strategies, cultivating a thriving environment for all.
As consumers start recognizing the benefits of shopping locally, our centralized directory is a place where the public can explore and fall in love with local brands. Created by two small business owners, Pana MIA Club is designed by and for SoFlo creatives & entrepreneurs to come together.
We live up to our motto in every part of our platform.
Yo tu Pana, tú la MIA
I, your friend and you mine.
Pana MIA Club is an all-inclusive platform for all things locally based in South Florida. We are dedicated to closing the gap between Patron and Pana, making it easier than ever to support locals. We cross-promote small businesses and creatives using our Locals Directory; a one-stop shop for anything you need (art, food, services, apparel, platforms, etc) provided locally, and finally a centralized space where you can explore and fall in love with local brands all over South Florida.
In the Spring of 2022 two young entrepreneurs, Anette y Clari, met while vending at a Miami market. Even with their different industries and preferences, the two forged a deep friendship. Like true friends, they started supporting each other both personally and, over time, professionally.
Their mutual encouragement and wish for each other's success was transformative. That summer, this support became the inspiration behind Pana MIA Club. This organization is a direct result of realizing we do not have to do everything alone. Local entrepreneurs and creatives are stronger when they work together.
Now that you know who we are, what is it we’re trying to do? We have many projects in the works but our organization revolves around three central pillars. We are continuously refining and growing each of these areas:
Keyword-Searchable Directory
El Directorio is your access guide to everything locally made and happening in So Flo! Our online keyword-search Local Directory makes it natural for a local patron to enter a keyword search and find locally sourced solutions to meet any need/desire. This will make shopping locally significantly more convenient for the consumer. It will also grant local brands, service providers, and organizations much more visibility. Our goal is to make a tool that will boost the local SoFlo’s economy and promote a locally-minded lifestyle.
PanaVizión Channel We have created a broadcast channel for Pana MIA Club called PanaVizión. The intention is to create content/media focused on promoting the directory, the panas involved, and the South Floridian culture and lifestyle that surrounds them. For now, this takes shape in the form of our podcast PanaVizión, eventually, we’d like to expand to other media projects.
