We're three people who believe the same thing: our community wins when we open doors for each other.
Connecting people, building rooms, bringing Latinos in tech together — it's what pulled the three of us into this work, and it's why we keep showing up for it.

So we listened & decided to bring to life El Mercado, with that as the single North Star. So we brought in recruiters in small groups.
Then after Las Chingonas, everyone was asking: Where do we meet investors.
