Moneda Moves (79): New Ep w/SUMA Wealth Co-Founder & CEO Beatriz Acevedo
We’ve dropped a new podcast episode this morning, mi gente, and I’m very eager to share with you. Meet Latina entrepreneur, Beatriz Acevedo. You may recognize her as the Co-Founder of mitú, the digital media brand for young Latinos. Her career started in media at a young age, first on radio and later on television in Mexico. She later went on to co-found and chair LA Collab, a Hollywood initiative aimed at doubling Latino representation in Hollywood.
Acevedo’s latest co-founded company is set on closing the Latino wealth gap. SUMA Wealth is making financial education accessible and relatable via in-culture content, fintech tools and digital experiences.
Last October, SUMA has raised more than $1 million in a pre-seed investment round led by Chicago-based Chingona Ventures. We speak with Acevedo about the vision for the Latino platform and why launching now is critical.
On that note, this episode of Moneda Moves is done in partnership with our friends at The Mujerista, the digital-media publication and network dedicated to empowering and celebrating the next generation of Latinas making an impact en la cultura. We couldn’t think of a more fitting brand to help amplify the message of jefas in the Latina community. Check them out across platforms at @TheMujerista.
Listen and let me know what you think.
Con poder,
Lyanne
