LATTITUDE Ventures, the exclusive fund for early-stage Latino companies SHARE THIS CONTENT: LATTITUDE Ventures LAT VC, a venture capital firm dedicated to catalyzing financial investment toward Latino-led businesses, recently announced the closing of its first institutional fund, raising more than $100 million through a strategic alliance with JPMorgan Chase and initial investments from Trujillo Group, and Bank of America.LAT VC highlights how this recently completed fund presents a unique opportunity to direct economic efforts towards the demographic group with fewer investments and fewer catalysts, but which is presented as the market with the highest current and future growth.Other key investors in this fund, which is aimed solely at investing in Latinao-owned companies with high growth potential, include UC Investments and MassMutual, Barclays, Royal Bank of Canada, Polaris Limited Partners Oscar Munoz, Cisco Investments through its Aspire Fund, Churchill, an affiliate of Nuveen, and Morgan Stanley.I commend the institutions who came inand stepped up first. This $100 million fund, backed by some of the biggest financial names, represents an opening salvo for what should become an investment boom directed toward this sector of early-stage companies that are either founded or run by Latinao entrepreneurs and that have significant potential, said Sol Trujillo, LATTITUDE Ventures Founder and General Partner.Trujillo underlined: //-- These are the smart investors who know its time to stop merely giving speeches and begin investing in this crucial Latina and Latino growth cohort, which is so essential to our economy.Notingfigures exposed by the 2021 Bain Capital Study Report, the Latino community constitutes the most entrepreneurial but undercapitalized growth cohort in the U.S., representing the equivalent of the seventh largest economy in the world.Its total economic output in 2019 was $2.7 billion, generating $1 billion of incremental GDP between 2010 and 2019, but it receives less than 1 of all invested capital from private equity and venture capital.According to LAT VC, nearly $1.5 billion of economic value would be unlocked if U.S. Latino-owned businesses achieved growth parity with non-Latino-owned businesses.These businesses do not achieve the size and scale of non-Latinaos because of a lack of capital, especially equity capital. Thus, it is vital for investors to pay attention to the U.S. Latino community, since it has become the largest, most prodigious cohort in the country. As the creators of the majority of net new businesses, Latino entrepreneurs are playing an increasingly pivotal role in creating new companies and jobs, while enabling wealth creation to broaden the labor base, it is highlighted.LATTITUDE VenturesThe venture capital firm, whose partners, along with Trujillo, are Oscar Muoz, Gary Acosta, Kennie Blanco, and Laura Moreno Lucas, offers companies owned by Latino Americans the following services:RELATED CONTENT Latina bikes 1,600 miles to raise money for workers power group July 27th, 2022 Registration is now open for LATTITUDE 2022 May 3rd, 2022 Hapi, the app that seeks to be the Robinhood of Latam April 13th, 2022 Create visibility for those companies in which LATTITUDE has investedMentor and provide access to global leadership and operational experience, including two former Fortune 150 CEOs, and founders at critical stages of scale.Provide access to LATTITUDEs network of partners, who can provide unique connections to businesses and distribution channels for founders to grow their businesses by shortening cycle time and customer acquisition, as well as distribution cycles.Investing in these entrepreneurs, who have not traditionally had equal access to capital funding, provides investors entre into the companies that are shaping what we describe as The New Mainstream Economy. Latinao-owned companies enjoy a built-in relationship with a rising generation of young U.S. Latino consumers investing in their early growth promises strong returns on investment for the next 30-40 years at a minimum, noted Trujillo.For his part, Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, stated: Latino-led businesses are critical to the U.S. economy but often lack access to capital and resources for growth. Our investment in LATTITUDE Ventures builds on our broader commitment to support U.S. Latino entrepreneurs and small businesses across the country.More ReactionsThis rising generation of Latino Americans represents the single biggest market since the baby boomer generation, with a GDP output greater than most developed nations entire economies, said Muoz, former United Airlines CEO and Chairman.Brian Moynihan, Bank of America CEO, pointed out: Bank of Americas equity investment in LATTITUDE Ventures reinforces our ongoing efforts to address the persistent gap in access to growth capital and open more doors for emerging companies led by diverse entrepreneurs.When Sol spoke to me about creating LATTITUDE Ventures, I knew immediately that he was the one person who had the business relationships and experience to create a world-class investment fund for Latino-led startups, said Gary Acosta, General Partner and CEO of National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals NAHREP.LATTITUDE NetworkHeld each September, the LATTITUDE Conference creates a forum for founders to compete for up to $20 million of capital to be invested by LATTITUDE Ventures during the cycle.
