HHM Celebración - Build Bold, Scale Smart
Join us on Thursday, October 9th at 5:30 PM at the new Andreu World Showroom in the Merchandise Mart! LaFamilia Chicago, Techqueria, and Chicago:Blend come together to host our Hispanic Heritage Month Celebración Panel.
This year’s theme, “Build Bold, Scale Smart”, sets the tone for an evening that brings together Latine founders, venture capital leaders, and investors for a powerful conversation on innovation, funding, and community impact.
Get ready for a no-fluff panel diving into:
The founder’s journey: raising capital, scaling, and navigating an exit
Venture capital insights: what early-stage VCs look for in founders and deals
The role of angel investors: supporting founders at the earliest stages
Lessons learned: missteps, pivots, and the realities behind the headlines
Beyond insights, this event is all about connection and networking — giving founders, funders, and builders space to share stories, frameworks, and lessons for building wealth and community.
Limited seats. Real insights. Trae tus preguntas!
