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

[Yulkendy Valdez (She-Her) @yulkendy]

Had a blast brainstorming solutions to develop a more equitable ecosystem for Latinx founders and investors. Gracias @InicioVentures and @GoogleStartups.

If you are a Latinx early-stage tech founder, apply to receive $10k in non-dilutive funding + more. https://t.co/M1LHCS68Ei
