Tapping into the Power of America's Future
Promoting Emerging Latino Entrepreneurs in America's Tech Industry
The Mission
The Latino Influentials is committed to discovering, empowering, and nurturing the next generation of Latino leaders driving innovation in America's technology industry.
The Need
Latinos occupy only 5% of tech executive roles and a mere 3% of board seats in the tech industry. In venture capital, their representation stands at 6%, with just 5% at the partner level. Despite the $250 billion in venture funding available in 2021, Latino founders secured only 3% of that capital—a figure that plummeted to 1.3% by 2023. Latinos also account for just 6% of the workforce at major U.S. tech companies, highlighting a striking gap in both leadership and overall representation.
The Vision
Investing in the next generation of Latino leaders is key to creating a more equitable tech industry—one that mirrors our nation’s diverse demographics and drives innovation through the power of equal opportunity.
