When family, culture, resilience, and entrepreneurshipĀ meet, we donāt just create businesses ā we build bridges, opportunities, and legaciesĀ that shape the future of our cities and our country.Celebrating culture, resilience, and the power of entrepreneurship. #LatinosEnBham
This weekendās Elevate Fair was more than a local eventĀ ā it was a celebration of the bigger story we are all writing together. It was a reminder that when family, culture, resilience, and entrepreneurship meet, we create more than businessesā¦ we create bridges, opportunities, and lasting legacies. šāØ
From the food vendors sharing flavors of home, to the small business owners building dreams brick by brick, to the women turning kitchen-table ideas into thriving ventures ā today showed that Latino-led businesses arenāt just part of the economy, they are shaping the future of it. šŗšø
š The Impact Is Undeniable
Latino entrepreneurs launched 36% of all new businessesĀ in the U.S. in 2023 ā almost double our share of the population.
There are now more than 465,000 Hispanic-owned employer businesses, employing 3.6 million peopleĀ and generating over $653 billionĀ every year.
Latina-owned companies grew by 56%Ā between 2017 and 2022 ā far outpacing the ~15% growth of all women-owned businesses.
The Hispanic Wealth ProjectĀ envisions a bold future: 600,000+ Latino-owned firmsĀ and tripled venture capital investmentĀ in Hispanic founders by 2034.
š More Than Numbers ā A Movement
š What we celebrated today ā the joy, the hustle, the collaboration ā is part of something much greater. Latino entrepreneurs are not just contributing to the economy; we are redefining it.Ā We are the heartbeat of Main Street, the innovators of tomorrow, and the storytellers of the American Dream.
āØ And no matter what, we stand tall and proud with Lady Liberty ā because this is also America.Ā Itās not about where you come from; itās about what you become and what you bring to the table. šŗšøš
