About LBAN
About The Latino Business Action Network
LBAN is a dynamic Silicon Valley-based nonprofit with a big mission to strengthen the U.S. economy by empowering Latino entrepreneurship across the country. We are a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization with a national reach.
Without the rapid creation of new businesses by Latinos in the last five years, the total number of businesses in the country would have suffered a decline. As U.S. Latino businesses continue to grow to the average size of a business in the U.S., it would add $1.1 trillion to the U.S. economy. We believe entrepreneurship is a key driver for economic growth.
​
LBAN leverages world-class expertise in management education to support this growing entrepreneurship opportunity. We collaborate with Stanford Graduate School of Business through the jointly led and supported Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative within the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies.
Three Pillars of LBAN
Network
LBAN is building an empowering national entrepreneurship ecosystem. The foundation of the ecosystem is the hundreds of graduates of our programs with a shared mindset for growth and mutual support. Additionally, the ecosystem includes networks of mentors, capital providers, and corporate contacts.
