David Segura, who was named as one of Hispanic Engineer magazine’s Most Influential Hispanics in Technology in the Spring 2011 issue, continues to receive national visibility.
Segura is billed to moderate a Feb 7 event hosted by the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative, and the Latino Business Action Network.
The 2018 State of Latino Entrepreneurship report, which will be launched at the event, includes responses from more than 5,000 Latino-owned companies around the U.S.
Among the findings:
• Across capital types, national banks provide minimal loan funding to Latino-owned businesses.
• Latina-owned companies are increasing in number; however, Latina entrepreneurs also face a funding ceiling.
• Successful Latino immigrant entrepreneurs are more likely to be millennial who came to the U.S. as children — presumably making many of them eligible for the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Among other compelling findings, the report highlights Latina entrepreneurs, whose growth over the past decade nearly outpaces that of all other demographic groups combined.
Following a presentation of findings, a panel discussion will explore the experience of Latino entrepreneurship from the perspective of top Latino entrepreneurs.
Panelists include:
• Catalina Campos is the CEO of Greenovate Construction, which makes energy-efficient modular homes.
• Tom Chavez is the founder and CEO of Krux Digital, which delivers cloud-based infrastructure for capturing, protecting, connecting, and monetizing consumer cookie information across devices.
• Maria Rios is the president and CEO of Nation Waste, Inc., the country’s largest waste-removal company to be owned by a female Hispanic and one of Texas’s largest minority-owned companies.
