Electrifying energy at this year’s SomosVC Annual Summit in SF! ⚡ We were thrilled to gather with such a powerful community of Latino/a investors and ecosystem partners, all eager to push the boundaries of what’s possible in venture capital. With Meyer "Micky" Malka of Ribbit Capital as our keynote, and discussions led by trailblazing speakers, this year’s theme, "Innovating Forward, Grounded in Tradition," truly resonated. To everyone who joined us, thank you for helping make this community stronger than ever. ¡Adelante! #SomosVC #WeareVC #SFTechWeek

We’re still buzzing from the energy at our #LATechWeek event! 🎶 SomosVC, alongside BLCK VC, VamosVentures, and Plug In Ventures, hosted founders and funders of color for a night of networking and connection. This gathering proved that when our communities come together, we build a stronger, more diverse tech ecosystem. Thank you to our sponsors who made this evening possible: Stifel Bank, Propeller Industries, KPMG, PledgeLA, and ChargerHelp!

Calling on all early-stage founders! Our friends at January Ventures are currently conducting their 6th annual company building survey to build off of prior years’ research and deepen understanding of the current landscape for founders. The survey (which takes <10 mins to complete) will help better serve founders and be instrumental in understanding the current market. In past years, the research has uncovered key insights into: - The importance of networks - Founder optimism - Experiences of founders with different backgrounds Your voice is important and we hope you’ll take the time to participate! You can take the founder survey here: https://lnkd.in/eMWZ68-W
