A network of Latino networks.
Latinos in Tech Collective connects the Latino professional groups, ERGs, and communities that already exist, so we can build collective wealth and ownership together. Starting in Boston.
Talent is everywhere. Ownership isn't yet.
Latino residents drove about a quarter of Massachusetts economic growth over the last decade. But that growth hasn't turned into the same share of companies, capital, and wealth.
Plenty of groups already do important work on careers, mentorship, and community. We don't want to rebuild any of it. We want to connect it, so the people in all these groups can find each other, work together, and eventually invest together.
