LULAC’s Latino Flash Pitch
Is A Fast Path To Success
==========================
Virtual Event Helps Our Community's Economic Advancement
Washington, DC – Don’t miss this week’s upcoming Latino Flash Pitch (LFP) created
to foster connections, inspire learning, and create a community around Latinos
who are ready for business and innovation. Latino entrepreneurs get a big break
to be seen by pitching their startups and business ideas for what could be their
biggest opportunity yet. This can lead to being included in a round of seed
funding, and tap into the knowledge of experienced Latino entrepreneurs to do
work that matters.
“Latino entrepreneurs are already changing every sector and industry globally
even despite COVID-19,” say Alberto Vargas, Program Coordinator, and Randy
Palacios, LULAC fellow. “Still, there is a large disparity between their
contributions to the world and the available resources. LFP is a supportive
community of people who care about making a difference in the world through
entrepreneurship and innovation. We have startups from every sector and
industries which we connect with mentors, fellow entrepreneurs plus funding,”
they add.
The Latino Flash Pitch Conference is scheduled for Tuesday, August, 11th from
10:00 AM to 1:30 PM and Wednesday, August 12th, 2020 from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM
“Our world is changing as safe jobs, and conventional systems start to disappear
even as the existing inequities are disproportionately affecting Latino
entrepreneurs,” says Sindy Benavides, National Chief Executive Officer. “Problems
are waiting to be solved uniquely by Latino experiences, leadership, skills, and
resilience. The world needs them right now. They can lead us into uncharted
territory, build something that they own, and provide value to the people they
seek to serve. Unfortunately, what we have seen during this pandemic is a lack of
access to capital, and already many Latino business owners have had to close
their doors. As our purchasing power continues to grow, we want to make sure that
Latinos are creating businesses and being selected as vendors, which helps bring
diversity and equity to Fortune 1000 companies who desperately need them. Our
strength is multiplied when we are all for one, and this program proves it!” she
adds.
LULAC has created the Latino Flash Pitch as the model for how to identify, assist
and mentor emerging entrepreneurs effectively and efficiently. It is doing so by
leveraging its 91-year history of service and a proven track record of making a
difference in Latino communities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
You too, can be part of the fast track to success in business and economic
empowerment. Join us for this historic virtual first of its kind LULAC event [ [link removed] ] .
