Our Ethos
​
Championing the Underdog
​
2Nspira was founded because too many small and mid-sized businesses—especially those led by underrepresented entrepreneurs—have been left behind by technology’s rapid evolution. This core belief shaped our journey, first as EKM IT Solutions and now as 2Nspira. Our evolution is a direct reflection of this long-standing mission to break down the barriers that stifle growth and innovation for smaller organizations.
Technology Built for People
While larger corporations had the means to adopt new tools, we set out to change that. Our development team works hand-in-hand with business owners to design custom solutions—often built on platforms like FileMaker and powered by AI—that aren’t just functional, but deeply aligned with their goals and identity. We help organizations use technology to make work easier, decisions clearer, and opportunities more accessible.
"For us, this isn’t just about software—it’s about creating lasting impact."
The Transformation We Create
Over the years, we’ve seen how the right technology can give entrepreneurs confidence, unlock new revenue, and open doors to possibilities they once thought out of reach. We help organizations grow sustainably and support leaders in staying true to their mission, showing that meaningful transformation is possible no matter where you start.
Our Promise
At 2Nspira, every project is more than a product. It’s a partnership built on trust, vision, and the belief that technology should serve people—not the other way around.
Why choose us?
Choosing a technology partner is about more than fixing problems—it’s about finding someone who understands your mission and walks beside you as you grow. At 2Nspira, we put people and purpose at the center of every solution.
When You Grow, We All Move Forward.
With 2Nspira, your success isn’t just a goal—it’s a shared mission. Every breakthrough, every smarter workflow, and every empowered team creates ripples that make businesses stronger, communities brighter, and technology more human. Together, we build progress that lasts.
Meet our Founder
Jeffrey V. Cortez
At the heart of 2Nspira is its founder, Jeffrey V. Cortez—a technologist, leader, and community builder with over two decades of experience guiding organizations through digital transformation. His belief is simple yet profound: technology should always begin with people, and it should always create possibility.
Jeffrey founded 2Nspira with a vision to make technology accessible, inclusive, and meaningful for the organizations often overlooked in times of rapid change—schools, nonprofits, small businesses, and underrepresented entrepreneurs. His work has helped leaders not only modernize their systems, but also unlock confidence, uncover opportunities, and grow with purpose.
For Jeffrey, technology is never just about systems—it’s about trust, empathy, and impact. Whether through AI, cloud solutions, custom databases, or automation, his role has always been to co-create solutions that simplify, inspire, and transform.
Beyond technology, Jeffrey is committed to community and equity. He has mentored entrepreneurs, supported the launch of startups, and walked alongside dozens of organizations on their digital journeys. Every project is, for him, a chance to lift others up and leave a lasting mark.
His career spans executive IT leadership roles at the Wildlife Conservation Society, Amur Capital Management, and Columbia University—experiences that shaped his belief that true transformation is built on vision, collaboration, and trust. He holds an Executive Master’s in Technology Management from Columbia University and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Queens College, complemented by advanced certifications in AI, machine learning, and systems engineering from institutions including Harvard University, Google, Nvidia, and Microsoft.
But credentials alone don’t define him. What Jeffrey values most is the chance to keep learning, to share what he’s discovered, and to use technology as a force for connection, empowerment, and progress.
For Jeffrey, and for 2Nspira, the mission is timeless: meet organizations where they are, honor their unique stories, and help them build a future full of possibility.
