Latinos in Tech Solving Wealth Disparity Gaps

Date TBA

As of 2014, among Hispanics ages 25 to 29, just 15% of Hispanics have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Nearly six-in-10 Hispanics are millennials or younger.

The number of Hispanic owned businesses is 4.1 billion as of 2015 and has grown at double the rate of non-Hispanic owned businesses since 2002. How are Latino entrepreneurs using Fintech to build solutions to address real issues facing communities of color, particularly financial wellness, student debt, and access to capital?
