- Building Wealth and Innovation
Happy December. As we close out the last month of 2024, let’s continue to focus on wealth building and celebrating Latino builders. The landscape of Latino venture capitalists is expanding, creating ripple effects beyond investment. Articles like Inc.'s guide to what Latino VCs look for in startups and Axios’ look at job creation through venture capital highlight two critical points: the growth of Latino VCs and their broader societal impact. One key highlight: Latino-led venture capital firms helped create more than 50,000 jobs.
It’s especially encouraging to see programs like AngelPath Academy paving the way for the next generation of startup investors and innovators! Join us in celebrating the 35 graduates of AngelPath Academy’s Cohort 3. Over the past two months, these leaders from across the U.S. immersed themselves in an inclusive investing development program, preparing to shape an innovation ecosystem.
Congratulations Sunthetics!
