State of Latino Entrepreneurship (Room 103 AB)

This session covers the latest research, trends, and expectations from the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative (SLEI). As a collaboration between the Latino Business Action Network (LBAN) and the Stanford Graduate School of Business, SLEI explores and expands our knowledge of the Latino entrepreneurship segment in the U.S. economy through research and education programs. SLEI research conducts the largest national survey of U.S. Latino business owners to better understand the opportunities and challenges among Latino-owned businesses in an effort to close the $1.47 trillion opportunity gap. Entrepreneurs and companies interested in learning about the entrepreneurial landscape can hear about the latest research on Latino entrepreneurs, as well as impactful stories from experienced entrepreneurs who participated in the SLEI-Education Scaling program.
