The Road to RGVSW
You can't tell meaningful stories from a distance which is why our team headed to Brownsville for RGV Startup Week 2025.

Founder's Note
Whether it’s SDOH work in the Valley, closing the digital gap with TechBloc, supporting ecosystem builders at Emerge and Rise, or sharing a message with a connected community — it all comes back to one thing: access.
Access to health, tech, capital, or simply a seat at the table. The stories we tell are about real people building real things.
Actions Speak Louder!



Emerge and Rise Open House
Vemos Vamos & DevSA link up with Lina Rugova and Christine Colburn for a closer look at the vision behind Emerge and Rise.

Cine Las Americas
Our very own Miguel Cedillo struck a chord at this years Cine Las Americas International Film Festival.

Closing the Digital Gap
What happens when 110 families suddenly get access to tech they never had? TechBloc, Human-I-T, and SA Hope Center teamed up to find out. See how access to technology is still reshaping health and economic equity.

The Road to RGVSW: Proximity Matters
You can’t tell meaningful stories from a distance which is why our team headed to Brownsville for RGV Startup Week 2025. This wasn’t a one-off trip. We’ve been building relationships in the Rio Grande Valley for months.
At 434 Media, we believe storytelling is a team sport. It takes care, consistency, and cultural awareness to bring someone else’s vision to life, especially when those stories are shaping the future of public health, economic opportunity, and innovation.
