A People-first Portfolio
As an impact fund manager focused on bridging the wealth gap in the US, Inicio Ventures increases Latinx participation and success in the startup economy by supporting and investing in startup leaders that identify as Hispanic.
What Drives Us
Wealth Inequality
The average wealth for Latinx families is less than $8,000, while the US average is closer to $150,000
Under-resourced Founders
Latinx-led startups as an aggregate have never received more than 2% of venture capital or impact investing capital
Barriers to Influence
There continues to be very few venture capital and impact investing professionals who identify as Hispanic
Our Beliefs
Innovation accelerates when all experiences have an opportunity to add their genius.
It is time to augment how investors discover and evaluate startups.
Founder wellness is an often overlooked critical component to startup growth and success.
Bridge-building mindset will help us collectively meet the urgency for change.
