Welcome to VCFamilia Issue #5. This is a biweekly update to keep you in the know about everything going on in the Latinx venture community.

New quarter, new beginnings! We continue to host brunches with COVID precautions in mind, next ones - LA April 16th, SF May 5th (yes, Cinco de Mayo). Stay tuned for more info via our twitter.

If you are a VC who identifies as Latinx and would like to join the slack, please fill out this form. Feel free to join the Linkedin group that includes allies + follow us on Twitter.

We wish you and your family a happy Easter and Passover!

Coming Up:

Spread the word to any Latinx talent that is interested in VC - we're here to support.

Wepa! Community Wins:

• Early stage: We are 3d printing the next generation of VCFamilia members and equipping them with the right drip:

• Riding the change: The effects of the Diversity Rider are prevalent in the latest announcements of funding rounds with diverse investors (we see you Taj!) It really does take a village.

• Semana Santa w/ Friends: No better way to kick off the month of April than with the fam. Shoutout to Luis Valle, aka Taco King 👑
