La Plaza ⛲️ : [V.1 @ 1871]

​I'm Gustavo Casas & I'm all about community. I've invested in over 75+ communities across 3 cities & now, it's time to build one for us... La Plaza.

​What is La Plaza: ⛲️

​La Plaza is a feeling, a smell, a sense of community. Almost every latin American city has one, with a church, a paletero & elotera. Families kids & teenagers alike, coming together as one.

​Our intention: [To recreate La Plaza in Chicago]

• ​Community - We're as powerful as we are united, we're as strong as our network. Our parents sacrificed their lives for ours, let's make it worth their sacrifice, pero juntos.

• ​Career Advancement - Chances are you'll find your next big job, investor, founder, or client in person, not on linkedin.

​Who it's for: [Los que traen pillas puestas🔋]

​Ambitious Latino's across sectors, from tech, VC, banking, legal, engineering & healthcare+ who are looking to meet, connect with & help others.
