The path to financial security for Latinos often involves navigating a challenging landscape when it comes to accessing capital. While significant progress has been made in recent years, systemic barriers and historical inequities continue to create obstacles for Latino entrepreneurs and investors.

A Growing Need for Capital:
The Hispanic community is a powerful force in the US economy, and its entrepreneurial spirit is driving innovation and growth. However, access to capital remains a significant challenge. According to a recent study by Stanford University, Latinos are disproportionately underrepresented in venture capital funding. This lack of access to capital limits growth potential, hinders business expansion, and perpetuates wealth disparities.

L'ATTITUDE: A Platform for Change
The upcoming L'ATTITUDE Conference in September, where NAHREP will be hosting its annual conference, will offer a crucial platform to address these issues. Key sessions and events will focus on empowering Latino entrepreneurs and investors and creating access to capital. Here's a glimpse:

• "Unlocking Capital for Latino Businesses": This session will explore strategies to overcome barriers and expand access to capital for Latino entrepreneurs.
