We had the good fortune of connecting with Mesmin Augustin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mesmin, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Reflecting back on the decision to start my own business, I could say, it was a natural progression to maximize time with my family without jeopardizing financial and professional growth. In this sense, entrepreneurship in the technical field allows me the flexibility to remain relevant and always on the learning edge of innovation while providing services based on acquired experience.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Mezanmi Technologies is a Software Development and Training firm who caters to businesses and their technological and training needs. Through the past thirteen (13) years, we specialize in creating software solutions to small and mid-size businesses while offering comprehensive training in business growth, marketing strategies, automation, and artificial intelligence integration and adoption.

Many businesses or people do what I do. However, for me, it is customer satisfaction first, then eventually the money will come. As a small business owner, I am much aware and able to relate to the challenges and opportunities of running a business. My clients get the assurance they have a technical partner at their side to support their business rather than just a service provider. Our philosophy is simple, yet powerful. “Do what you do best and leave the technical stuff to us.”

The best moment for me is witnessing an idea on paper becoming functional and operational on the computer or mobile device after a period of time. Seeing my customers and their clients use a system or solutions with excitement and seamless user experience we crafted is the proudest moment for me.

I am on a wonderful and ongoing journey that comes with excitement, long nights, arguing with the code, great laughter and celebration of success and small victories. No entrepreneurial journey is easy and I made no illusion of that when I started more than a decade ago. If I were to start over, I would without hesitation but only with a few guiding principles this time around. First, progress not perfection; second, success takes time and build it and they will eventually come.

At the core, Mezanmi Technologies is to provide excellence and genuine care for our clients. As long as I am in this field, I commit to the unwavering success and lasting impacts of my clients with the software we build. In a sense, my customers’ joys and successes are mine as well. It is ok to seek help and I will do all in my power to leave you better than before you met me whether you become our client or not. And we know our stuff 🙂

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
First, if Sunday is within that week, I would take him to the Sunday Mass celebration and brunch thereafter. Next stop would be a football or basketball game. Since the greater South Florida area has a lot to offer, perhaps we would go to one of the many restaurants in Little Haiti, then the beach (if summer time), the attractions only local to the area such as Alligator Alley, Lion County Safari (the drive-thru Safari part) and/or Disney World.

There are many hidden treasures in Miami with cultural undertone. Little Haiti in itself offers food, books, arts and a whole marketplace with articles from the Haitian diaspora. Calle Ocho gives a little taste of the Cuban variety and the long historical perspective of the Latino culture for miles. Finally, the Miami Design District offers an immersive shopping experience like no other. In my view, each of these places can be fun, interesting and exciting insofar as no two days are the same in a Miami outing.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
All credits belong to the Almighty. Alongside my journey, He has provided me with a loving and supporting wife Erika, beautiful children, my mother Marie-Lourdes and siblings. The list of those who helped me through prayer, mentorship, advice, support and encouragement is extensive and ever-growing. Recognizing success is ongoing, forward and never a solo effort, I simply want to extend a sincere note of gratitude to my teams, collaborators, business partners and all those who have come and gone through the years and to those who are yet to come.
