Our Latinx take on the ‘Shark Tank’ competition provides entrepreneurs with the opportunity to pitch their venture ideas and startups to potential investors/co-investors, and partners. This interactive event will spotlight Latina business owners, who are one of the fastest growing groups of entrepreneurs in the U.S. yet some of the most underfunded. Three Latina-owned enterprises will compete for investments from Hispanics in Philanthropy’s PowerUp Fund, with audience members being able to vote with their own dollars to add to the purse.
