Mendoza Ventures’ Senofer Mendoza on investing in minority entrepreneurs

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

women and minorities don't receive funding as easily.  *What
