About this Event
A Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
Presented by Hispanic Federation in partnership with Keyla Consulting & Co in partnership with Mercedes-Benz Greenwich
Hispanic Federation proudly presents the next workshop in our Crear y Crecer su Negocio series - a hands-on session dedicated to helping Connecticut's Latino entrepreneurs understand funding, unlock trapped cash, and build the financial systems that fuel sustainable growth.
Being busy isn't the same as being profitable.
Too many entrepreneurs pour everything into growing — more clients, more hours, more hustle — yet never build a business that truly pays them. The difference between staying stuck and stepping into real wealth comes down to two things: knowing your worth, and pricing for profit.
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, join us for an inspiring evening honoring Latino excellence in business. We're bringing together entrepreneurs, community leaders, and changemakers for a night of real talk, real strategy, and real connection — set against the backdrop of Mercedes-Benz Greenwich.
Whether you're launching, growing, or ready to scale, this celebration is designed to equip you with the mindset and tools to build a business that's built to last — and to connect you with a community that lifts as it climbs.
