Moneda Moves (121): Fundraising The Big $1 Million | Shop Latinx's Brittany Chavez & LAT VC's Laura Moreno Lucas
Que tal, mi gente? This viernes, we are feeling muy excited to announce that our first podcast episode in partnership with our friends at La Nueva Link on fundraising with venture capital is LIVE this week!
That’s right — in our last panel discussion, our experts share all about reaching the big $1 million dollars and how to successfully fundraise in today's digital age. In the first of a two-part series done in collaboration with Latinx professional network La Nueva Link, we discuss what it takes to fundraise and build a brand that lasts. You can register for the next panel here.
Latino entrepreneurs historically have had difficulty attaining the capital from banks and investors needed to survive and scale. Per a report published by McKinsey, “Latinos have the lowest rate of using bank and financial institution loans to start their businesses compared with other racial and ethnic groups,” leaving them to rely more on personal funds.
In this episode, we speak with Latinx founder of Shop Latinx Brittany Chavez, who has raised more than $1 million for her company.
We also speak with leader in the venture capitalist space as well as Partner at $100 million fund LAT VC Laura Moreno Lucas, to demystify the fundraising process and the gaps in the system where it can better serve Latinx founders.
A few takeaways from the episode this week?
