I’m trying to hold back. I swear. But man oh man. 2025 is starting off in the best ways. Amazing interest in the community kickoff event. Pitch Black expanding to feature food. And now, Latino Founders is building out their team. It’s a good January by any measure. Even if we stopped today. But let’s not. Let’s meet Zimri Rodriguez, the new Accelerator Manager for Latino Founders.
Latino Founders, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the growth and success of underserved businesses, proudly announces the appointment of Zimri Rodriguez as the first manager of their accelerator program. Zimri experience as a community builder to support entrepreneurs and her understanding of how early-stage capital can be deployed will help shape our program to help founders scale their startups.
“Empowering Latino startups through a thriving accelerator program is essential to cultivating economic growth, celebrating cultural diversity, and building a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem that drives lasting impact,” said Zimri Rodriguez. I’m honored to be stepping into this role to continue Latino Founders work and support entrepreneurs’ scalable ventures that will contribute to the economic development of our region and wealth creation in our community.
Zimri will be relocating from Chicago to take on the role with Latino Founders.
