Details
Starting small businesses faster than the rest of the startup population and making up a larger slice of the total United States market daily. Estimates state that they will make up 29% of the United States population by 2050. Yet, despite Latino/a entrepreneurs’ significant contributions to the United States economy and their rapid growth, this community of entrepreneurs continues to face unique challenges limiting their growth – one of the most notable challenges being access to capital.
Nearly 65% of Latino/a businesses voice their need for access to capital, and this webinar will analyze how to increase access to this group of entrepreneurs.
