CHICAGO — Tech startups play an increasingly relevant role in the economy and have been responsible for some of the most salient innovations in the last few decades.
Tech startups founded by Latinos have been around for a long time; however, only recently have they had similar success to startups started by founders of other ethnicities. Latino founded tech companies offer unique solution that often benefit other Latinos in the U.S. and abroad. Funding for these tech companies peaked in 2021, when they raised a combined $8.5 billion in funding throughout the year.
