In our last issue, we highlighted the momentum and power of Latino entrepreneurs driving innovation nationwide. But thriving requires access to more than talent and determination—resources play a vital role in scaling that impact. This week, we want to explore how access to the right tools and knowledge can unlock new opportunities, which brings us to an exciting development: Inicio’s Startup Centro Beta is live. This free mobile app is designed to empower current and aspiring Latinx/e founders and funders by centralizing critical resources. Startup Centro offers the tools needed to navigate opportunities, build networks, and access funding more effectively.
By gathering these resources in one place, Startup Centro ensures that Latinx/e entrepreneurs and investors can find the support they need without barriers. It's not just an app—it's a tool for transformation. Explore the app today and share it within your network. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/inicio-ventures_the-startup-centro-beta-is-live-this-free-activity-7250208508237737985-79oZ?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
Let’s continue building together—because when our community rises, we all rise. On that note, I truly appreciated hearing from inspiring leaders during the “The Importance of Latino Unity” webinar.

Frustration with capital not going to women and BIPOC entrepreneurs.
What advice do you have for anyone launching a business?
Embrace failure as part of the journey and know that growth and perfection cannot coexist, embrace the messiness of building a business.
