This translates to the startup venture table by providing hope to a dismal reality, Latina-led startups receive less than 1% of venture funding, and equally, less than 1% of venture decision-makers are Latinas. A new paradigm is surfacing that does not take the traditional way of fundraising in who you know or what your pedigree is, it&#8217;s focused on community, connections, and collaborations. Who better to lead this new venture revolution than Latinas who know the strengths of familia, who know how to raise a vibrant community, and who can make significant capital moves? Latinas can invest in Latinas, so forge new lanes of support, funding, and connections to help Latina founders connect with Latina investors. Our collective &#8220;familia flotilla&#8221; of boats will raise the tide of funding for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker: Silvia Mah, General Partner, Stella Impact\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;3:15 &#8211; 3:55 PM PST &#8211; Panel Discussion: Strength in the Storm: Navigating Job Loss, Organizational Changes, and Uncertainty with Resilience&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1696915223246-c0e25c8a-c0ba&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<div data-ccp-timestamp=\"1696915277634\">\n<p>Join us for an enlightening panel discussion as we delve into the topic of staying strong in the face of job loss, organizational changes, and uncertainty.
