Martha Hernández From madeBOS: Cinco de Mayo A Day Of Action And Investment In Our Community

Oakland-based Latina entrepreneur Martha Hernández launched an investment campaign and invited the public to invest in madeBOS, an innovative start-up that revolutionizes how low wage millennial workers plan their careers.“Cinco de Mayo needs to be day of action and investment in our community. I am excited to give my friends, family and community the opportunity to invest and own a stake in madeBOS, and be part of a movement that is uplifting low wage workers through career planning and mentoring” said Martha Hernández, Founder of madeBOS.In a CB Insights report that breaks down VC investment statistics in the last 5 years, Latino-owned firms are not listed, which could potentially mean that less than 1% went into Latino entrepreneurs. The report does show however, that 87% of VC investment goes to white Founders, 12% to Asian-owned and 1% to Black-owned companies.“Now is the time to invest in the success of our Latino entrepreneurs, who are putting innovative ideas to empower our community” said Jesse Martinez, Latino Startup Alliance’s Co-Founder and Co-Chair.
