From EKM to 2Nspira: Inspired Technology for a New Era
 

Our Ethos

We founded 2Nspira because too many small and mid-sized businesses—especially those led by underrepresented entrepreneurs—have been left behind by technology’s rapid evolution. While larger corporations had the means to adopt new tools and systems, smaller organizations often faced barriers that stifled growth and innovation. 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 modern technologies such as AI—that aren’t just functional, but deeply aligned with their goals and identity. From streamlining everyday workflows to uncovering insights hidden in data, we help organizations use technology to make work easier, decisions clearer, and opportunities more accessible.

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. For us, this isn’t just about software—it’s about creating lasting impact. It’s about helping organizations grow sustainably, supporting leaders in staying true to their mission, and showing that meaningful transformation is possible no matter where you start.

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.

 What We Do

We help organizations unlock the full potential of their technology—so they can focus on growth, innovation, and impact. Too often, small and mid-sized businesses are forced to work with one-size-fits-all systems that don’t reflect who they are or what they need. That’s where we come in.

Our team combines deep technical expertise with creativity and care to design solutions that are secure, scalable, and built around your vision. From everyday support to future-focused strategy, we guide you at every step of your digital journey.

Every engagement with 2Nspira is about more than fixing systems—it’s about building trust, simplifying complexity, and creating technology that empowers people. We don’t just solve problems; we partner with you to inspire transformation.

 
 

 What we believe

People First

We believe technology should empower, not replace. By combining human creativity with intelligent tools, we design solutions that improve lives, strengthen communities, and inspire new possibilities.

Equity Fuels Innovation

Diversity isn’t just a value—it’s the engine of progress. By supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs and fostering inclusive teams, we help ensure that innovation reflects everyone, not just a few.

Responsibility to Our World

Technology should move us forward without leaving the planet behind. We are committed to sustainable practices, reducing our environmental impact, and helping organizations embrace low-carbon, responsible ways of working.

Because at the end of the day, what we build matters—but why we build it matters even more.

 
 

What we stand for?

At 2Nspira, our name reflects both our vision and our values: to inspire organizations through technology.

While the term knowledge management once defined how businesses organized data into meaningful insights, today’s challenges demand something bigger. 2Nspira is about transformation—helping nonprofits, schools, and small businesses not just manage knowledge, but unlock it, connect it, and use it to spark growth.

We believe technology should do more than keep systems running. It should empower people. That means building solutions that are:

  • Financially smart — delivering clear ROI and sustainable growth.

  • Functionally strong — simplifying workflows and making operations seamless.

  • Emotionally resonant — giving teams confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.

  • Identity-driven — aligning technology with your mission and values.

  • Meaningful — creating impact that goes beyond the screen.

From AI integration to cloud optimization, from custom databases to business intelligence dashboards, we help organizations see the bigger picture, learn from the past, and confidently shape the future. Think of 2Nspira as your trusted partner in organizational learning and digital transformation.

And yes, our name is also personal: it’s a tribute to the spirit of inspiration passed down through family—because at the heart of every system, every workflow, and every innovation, there are people.

We Innovate With Purpose

We don’t believe in technology for technology’s sake. Every solution we design—whether a custom FileMaker system, a cloud migration, or an AI workflow—is created to serve your mission, strengthen your identity, and deliver real, lasting impact.

 

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.
