Celebrating FIVE YEARS of FAMILIA!! đź’•
If you watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, you saw more than just a halftime show. You saw Bad Bunny making history with 135M+ viewers as the first primarily Spanish-language headliner. Together we are Americans. Together we are here.
At LaFamilia, we’ve been building the infrastructure for this moment since November 4, 2021. In the nonprofit world, the first five years are often called the "chasm of death." Most don't make it. But because of you, we didn't just survive—we scaled. We’re planning a massive celebration—think "Voices of LaFamilia" series, IRL activations, city takeovers, and more. But first, we need a THEME and your WINS. Submit your ideas and stories as part of our anniversary series!

Ship the message as fast as you think
Founders spend too much time drafting the same kinds of messages. Wispr Flow turns spoken thinking into final-draft writing so you can record investor updates, product briefs, and run-of-the-mill status notes by voice. Use saved snippets for recurring intros, insert calendar links by voice, and keep comms consistent across the team. It preserves your tone, fixes punctuation, and formats lists so you send confident messages fast. Works on Mac, Windows, and iPhone. Try Wispr Flow for founders.

🧱 FounderFriday: Christian Vela
Christian Vela 🇵🇪, Founder of Pulse
Christian Vela is a first-generation Peruvian-American founder building for a problem he knows intimately: how broken fundraising data rooms really are.
After 6+ years in VC, including time at Amex Ventures, Christian saw the same problem over and over: fundraising data rooms were either overpriced, insecure, or painful to manage. DocSend was expensive. Google Drive wasn’t built for diligence. Founders were stuck.
So he built Pulse, a smart virtual data room designed specifically for startups raising capital. They’re interested in meeting startups preparing for their Series A round. They've made it easier for founders to control their process at $50 per month (instead of Docsend's $250 plan), while giving investors AI tools for faster, comprehensive due diligence. If you are a VC, they are building partnerships with funds and startup networks to offer portfolio perks.
