Startup Mindsets: Creating a more Diverse Venture/Tech Ecosystem with Senofer Mendoza of Mendoza Ventures

On International Women’s Day, 3/8, we welcome Senofer Mendoza to the podcast!
Senofer and Adrian Mendoza started Mendoza Ventures to address the funding gap in the pre-seed investment stage for underrepresented founders.
Senofer founded the first LatinX venture capital firm on the East Coast in 2016 and has since been leading the charge for investing in more diverse founders ever since! She is a former enterprise sales executive selling into large brands including Marriott, Fairmont, and Starwood. On today’s show we catch up on market trends and have a thought based discussion on why there is a lack of real diversity in the tech industry and why women and minorities don’t receive funding as easily.
