Igniting Emprendedoras: LiT + WTE Celebrate Hispanic Heritage

This Hispanic Heritage Month, Latinas in Tech (LiT) and Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship (WTE) are joining forces to celebrate the power of Latina entrepreneurship. Igniting Emprendedoras offers a hands-on look at what it takes to launch and grow a business, guided by women who’ve done it themselves.

Together, we’ll honor the ambition, creativity, and brilliance of Latinas driving innovation and business breakthroughs. Whether you’re building your first startup, scaling your business, or exploring freelancing, this event is all about making powerful connections that help you go further, faster.

• Practical, step-by-step advice from Latina experts in law, finance, marketing, and HR
• Insights into navigating the challenges of building a business and accessing resources in your ecosystem
• A candid panel on why no entrepreneur has to “go it alone” — and where to turn for support, mentorship, and funding
• A welcoming community of founders, leaders, and allies committed to uplifting Latina entrepreneurs
