Are you a Latino or Latina founder looking for Latinx VC investors?
Perfect, you’ve come to the right place!
The Beta Boom team has been hard at work pulling together the most complete and up-to-date list of top Latinx-led VC funds.
All funds included in this list have at least one General Partner that identifies as “Latino” or “Latina,” and their fund must be active, which we define as having made at least one investment in the past year.
Our goal is to not only compile the most complete and up-to-date list of Latinx-led VC funds, but also to give you the information that you need to identify those funds that will be a good fit for your startup. (Check out the “Quick Tips for Getting the Most Out of This List” section after the list, at the bottom of this page for more tips on making your fundraising more successful!)
Also, remember to reach out to us at Beta Boom if your startup is at the pre-seed stage and focused on meeting the needs of women or Latinx and other ethnic minority consumers.

Quick Tips for Getting the Most Out of This List
As a founder, you probably have way too much to do and not nearly enough time to raise capital. That’s why it’s important to work smarter, not harder.
After working with dozens of founders, we have found that the most impactful practice that you can employ to make your raise successful is focusing on those investors that are very strongly aligned with your startup. Don’t waste time reaching out to those funds with whom you have virtually no chance.
For example, if you are building a FinTech startup and are raising a Seed round, there is virtually no chance that you will get investment from an EdTech growth fund that invests in Series A and above. Don’t waste your time with investors that don’t fit what you’re doing and your stage of growth!
To help you efficiently target investors that are right for you, we have included the two main criteria—vertical focus and investment stage—that you can use to build your own target list of investors.
Good luck with your fundraise, and remember to reach out to us at Beta Boom if you’re at the pre-seed stage and building the future for women or multicultural consumers.
