Welcome to the new issue of LatinosBuild.
The tech industry's diversity gap is more than just numbers—it's about untapped potential and missed opportunities. The Kapor Foundation's Latine Tech Ecosystem Report published in March, brings this into sharp focus, revealing a startling projection: without immediate action, Latine technical talent won't reach parity in the sector until 2077. This comprehensive study not only highlights the challenge but also outlines innovative strategies to accelerate progress, from expanding CS education access to increasing venture capital for Latine entrepreneurs. Dive into the full report to discover how we can reshape the future of tech diversity:
