It's been incredible to see how we've significantly grown over the past 5 months. Happy to say we've reached over 150 members! There's always power in numbers and we're just getting started.

With that, VCF is joining #LatinxGoldOpen, a social movement dedicated to ensuring the opening weekend success of Latino films across the country for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new movie In The Heights! 

We are most likely coordinating a group outing in NYC for VCFamilia members (+ allies depending on availability) but are also generating funds to potentially reimburse tickets for VCFamilia members who want to watch it in other areas. 

Opening weekend is the most critical time window for film projects to guarantee their success. Please fill out this form by 11:59pm ET Wednesday if you're part of VCFamilia and are interested in seeing In the Heights in theaters anytime from June 11-13th. 

Happy Pride Month! We are putting together an amazing event with LGBTQ+ VCs on June 24th at 1pm ET so save the date.

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

Coming Up:

• Launching your own VC fund: Teaming up with Latina Venture Students again to bring you an expert panel on how to launch your own VC fund June 8th at 6pm ET. These speakers have all worked incredibly hard to get to where they are today so RSVP here!

• LGBTQ+ VC Event: Solidifying speakers for this panel on June 24th from 1-1:45pm ET. If you would like to nominate someone or yourself please reach out! We're looking for more Latino VCs who identify as well for full representation.
