LatinasinBusiness.com joins AccessLatina’s collaborators to support Latina entrepreneurs
AccessLatina, the first non-profit organization pioneering entrepreneurial growth for Latinas in STEAM, social innovation, or the agricultural industry and LatinasinBusiness.us, a digital platform advocating for the economic empowerment of Latinas in business and the workplace, announce a strategic media partnership to help promote and expand their reach among the fastest growing demographic segment in the USA, Latina entrepreneurs.
AccessLatina recently announced its round of finalists for the first-ever multi-market accelerator program developed to reach one of America’s fastest growing populations—Latinas—in STEAM, social innovation and agriculture. The finalists, Latina business owners from New York, Washington DC, Florida and Puerto Rico, are competing for the opportunity to receive more than $100,000 in capital and resources to expand their businesses.
“We are excited to add LatinasinBusiness.us to our strong group of collaborators in the private and public sector to provide resources to high-growth Latina entrepreneurs,” said Lucienne Gigante, co-founder of AccessLatina. “Our finalist will benefit from the exposure as they continue to grow their businesses and create new alliances,” added co-founder Marta Michelle Colón.
Both organizations have Latina entrepreneurs and innovators as their core target group, to help them promote, expand and grow their businesses.
Founded by two female entrepreneurs, Lucienne Gigante and Marta Michelle Colón, AccessLatina aims to provide capital injection and resource investment through a yearly competition to women-owned businesses focused on STEAM, social innovation, or the agricultural industry (including ag-farm and ag-tech). Potential candidates need to be doing business for at least three years and show high-growth potential.
LatinasinBusiness.us was founded by Susana G. Baumann as an initiative of her company LCSWorldwide, a multicultural marketing communications consulting firm in business for over 20 years. What she calls her “work of love” is a digital space for Latinas to share their concerns, expertise, strategies and achievements, promote their products or services, attract customers, learn about social media, seek business advice, be a “madrina,” become a minority vendor or find business to business trade opportunities.
“Both organizations complete each other’s vision by providing Latina entrepreneurs with access to capital and knowledge, networking contacts and the opportunity to promote their businesses locally and nationally through social media. These are the toughest tasks for busy Latinas who are running their businesses with small budgets and limited resources,” said Susana G. Baumann, LatinasinBusiness.us Editor-in-Chief.
The media strategic partnership will include covering AccessLatina events, announcements and activities, and promoting Latina business owners who participate in their annual competition through LatinasinBusiness.us platform and its social media channels.
