The VC Fellowship for Latinos by Latinos

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Mariela Salas, Executive Director of SomosVC, on this episode of Work in Progress. Discover how her organization is working to bridge the massive gap in Latino representation within the venture capital industry. Despite making up 19.5% of the U.S. population, less than 2% of all VC professionals are Latino. Dr. Salas discusses the cultural barriers, lack of access, and economic mobility challenges that have led to this underrepresentation and explains how SomosVC is driving change through career development, mentorship programs, and fellowships. Learn about the inspiring success stories of fellows who are now creating lasting impact in the industry, and how diverse investors are bringing new opportunities to underrepresented groups. If you're interested in breaking into venture capital, diversifying your startup investments, or simply learning more about Latino inclusion in finance, this episode is a must-listen.
