Celebrating Community: Reflecting on the Latino/a Presence at SXSW
During SXSW, we had the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations during the 3rd edition of the Venture Latinx Coalition Partner Summit and inaugural La Startup Casa, both hosted by Inicio Ventures. The Latino/a startup and broader VC ecosystem made a strong statement by showing up, supporting each other, and actively amplifying the talent across our community.
Breaking Barriers: Celebrating Women's History Month with SomosVC and Partners
SomosVC co-hosted a Women’s History Month celebration with SVB Catalyst 2045, StartupOS, and Emmeline Ventures. The day featured a trailblazing panel moderated by SomosVC community member, Vanessa di Frances, on how to raise venture funding with Lisha Bell, Asya Bradley and SomosVC community member, Laura Lucas. There was an exciting pitch competition led by StartupOS and an inspiring screening of “Show Her The Money”, followed by an exclusive panel with the filmmakers and cast.
