The arc

The format

Every conversation moves through the same arc: Respect, Connect, Reflect. Same questions, every guest. A growing record of how Latinos build.

01
OPENING

El Cafecito

A warm, rapid-fire start. Pride, personality, and the one word in each guest's language that English can't touch.

02
RESPECT

Denominación de Origen

Where they come from, and how it shaped the way they build, invest, and lead. Terroir over resume.

03
CONNECT

Términos y Condiciones

The real work. The honest business, the hard decisions, the bet they're actually making. Host as peer, not fan.

04
CONNECT

La Descarga

The jam session. Escalating questions, playful to profound, and one answer the guest can save "pa' la sobremesa."

05
REFLECT

La Última Palabra

The same closing question, every guest, forever: who held the door open for you, and whose name goes on the door you're holding open?

C·016

She was a farmer first

Victoria Tostado · Co-founder & CEO, Agxes

How seven years farming tomatoes and limes in Querétaro led to an MIT MBA and an AI platform rebuilding agricultural credit, cutting loan decisions from ninety days to near real time for the people who grow our food.

C·015

No doesn't always mean no forever

Desiree Vargas Wrigley · Founding General Partner, Velocity Catalyst · Co-founder, Josephine Collective

How a two-time founder built a fifty million dollar hybrid fund in Chicago that writes first checks into pre-seed startups and anchors the emerging managers who fund them next, and why philanthropic capital belongs in venture, not in charity.

C·014

The data exists. The intelligence doesn't.

Carlos Maiguel · Founder & CEO, Corello

Why one founder pointed AI at manufacturing instead of the cloud, how Corello captures tribal knowledge from operators who have run the same machines for thirty years, and what an AI coworker named Sophia does for a shop floor on a Monday morning.

C·013

The same ladder at every rung

Laura Moreno Lucas · General Partner, Latitude Ventures · Former Managing Director, Nasdaq · Author, Latinas in VC

How the capital markets ladder looks identical at every rung, from the first pre-seed check to the closing IPO bell, and why Latino founders need investors who have stood at both ends.

C·012

The rules nobody taught us

Lolita Taub · General Partner, Ganas Ventures · Author, What Actually Matters

How a first-generation founder from South Central LA made the invisible rules of venture visible, why community is the moat that replaces the warm intro, and what actually matters when you are building without an inherited playbook.
