Why Latino Entrepreneurship Matters

Latino entrepreneurship is one of the fastest-growing forces in the U.S. economy. Latino entrepreneurs are starting businesses at higher rates, growing revenue faster, and creating jobs across industries, yet systemic gaps in access to capital, contracts, and networks continue to limit what’s possible.

LBAN works to close those gaps and unlock economic growth that benefits the entire country.

Research & Insights

LBAN is a trusted national source of data and insight on Latino entrepreneurship. In collaboration with Stanford Graduate School of Business through the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative (SLEI), we produce the annual State of Latino Entrepreneurship (SOLE) report. This data is used by policymakers, financial institutions, corporations, and ecosystem leaders to inform decisions and expand opportunity.

Each year, LBAN shares these insights nationally at the State of Latino Entrepreneurship (SOLE) Summit at Stanford, helping shape a more accurate understanding of what drives growth in the U.S. economy.
