Our partner @InicioVentures is on a mission to bridge the wealth gap and #FundLatinoFounders 👏
Managing Director @Venturethoughts shares his thoughts on how everyone can benefit from supporting Latinx-led startups. #HispanicHeritageMonth

Happy Friday💰
Here are some stats to remind you that the U.S. Latino population is a massively overlooked opportunity by VCs (!)
- Latinos make up 1 in 4 new entrepreneurs
- 72% of Latino founders face funding shortfalls
- 70% rely on personal savings
- 1.8% are venture-backed
