U.S. Latina/o entrepreneurs building technology and technology-enabled businesses
Pre-seed through Series A historically; $100M+ fund. Important: L’ATTITUDE said it completed its capital-deployment period in Q3 2025, so I would verify whether they are currently making new investments.
Diverse founders creating businesses in overlooked markets
Primarily pre-seed; $250K–$2M initial checks. Their sweet spots include fintech, future of work/learning and health tech. They are not Latino-only, but are a particularly relevant diverse-founder fund.
A couple of distinctions worth knowing
L'ATTITUDE is the clearest “this fund exists specifically for Latino founders” example. Its stated mandate has been to invest in Latina/o-owned U.S. companies, and its Fund II was $100M+. www.prnewswire.comwww.linkedin.com The catch is that its latest announcement says the fund finished its capital deployment in Q3 2025, so I wouldn't treat it as an active source of new checks without confirming first.
VamosVentures is probably the most actionable dedicated option currently. Its founder criteria explicitly require at least one co-founder from an underrepresented background, and it is actively soliciting founder submissions. It targets Seed/Series A and U.S.-incorporated companies.
There are also Latino-focused non-VC programs worth knowing about. For example, Google's Latino Founders Fund has provided non-dilutive awards and support to Latino entrepreneurs, but Google's current page describes the initiative as having awarded $16M rather than as an ongoing traditional VC fund.
If you tell me your startup sector, stage (pre-seed/seed/A), amount you're raising, and whether you're U.S.-based, I can narrow this to 10–15 funds you should actually put on your fundraising list, including check sizes, geography, partner names, and application/contact links.
As a Latino founder, you have access to a growing ecosystem of venture capital firms, angel investor networks, and fellowship programs purpose-built to back Latinx and Hispanic entrepreneurs.
Prominent venture funds and investment groups dedicated to or actively prioritizing Latinx-led startups include:
Vamos Ventures : A Los Angeles-based early-stage venture capital fund founded with a mission to fund visionary founders, particularly from Latinx and diverse backgrounds, building disruptive tech solutions [pluginventures].
L'ATTITUDE Ventures : Co-founded by Gary Acosta and Sol Trujillo, this purpose-led fund exclusively invests in early-stage U.S. businesses led and owned by Latinos that have high growth potential via technology. They also host an annual pitch competition awarding major capital to top Latino entrepreneurs.
Angeles Investors : A Chicago-based investment community and early-stage firm specifically dedicated to finding, funding, and growing promising Latino-founded startups in the U.S. while scaling the number of Hispanic angel investors.
Ganas Ventures : A pre-seed and seed-stage fund (led by Lolita Taub) that backs audacious, community-driven founders across the U.S. and Latin America, with a strong emphasis on the Latinx tech ecosystem.
Visible Hands (VHLX) : A pre-seed VC firm that runs specialized virtual-first fellowship programs (like VHLX in partnership with Google) designed explicitly to provide capital, non-dilutive funding, and hands-on operational support to overlooked Latinx founders.
If you'd like to narrow this down, let me know:
What is your startup's stage (pre-seed, seed, Series A)?
What industry or sector are you building in (fintech, SaaS, healthtech, etc.)?
I can help you pinpoint which of these funds is the best fit for a direct pitch.
