PAST EVENTS
LatinxVC just hosted its first virtual Cafecito conversation for Latinx venture professionals with Tom Chavez, founder of Krux (acquired by Salesforce for $700m), Rapt (acquired by Microsoft), and Ketch.
Thanks to Tom for sharing his career path, advice on hiring and building a company, and thoughts on attributes of the best venture investors he’s worked with, along with answering questions from our community of Latinx VCs.
Tom was the first in a series of tech luminaries that we plan to connect with the Latinx venture capital community through our Zoom Cafecito series. Thanks to Tom for being a pioneer in so many ways and to all those who attended and participated in this conversation.
