Thanks National Association of Investment Companies (NAIC) for this shoutout and for our vibrant Latino community! ?? At DUX, we firmly believe that Latinos are Latinos no matter where they are, and we're especially excited about the opportunities in the U.S. market. Our focus is on empowering and supporting Latinos to thrive, and it's this commitment that fuels our passion. The possibilities are endless, and we're confident that the returns—both in impact and growth—will be tremendous. Together, we can make a lasting difference! ?????
Daniel Santamarina's entrepreneurial journey taught him the unique challenges faced by diverse founders.?The Hispanic community comprises nearly 20% of the nation's population and 13% of GDP, yet only attracts 2% of venture capital. Today, those?learnings drive the mission of?Dux Capital, a venture fund that supports Hispanic-owned seed-stage businesses across the U.S. and Latin America. Daniel and his co-founders, José Luis Silva Vázquez and Susana Espinosa de los Reyes, are on a mission to bridge the gap for underrepresented Latino entrepreneurs. By leveraging their deep operational and investment expertise, they provide not just funding, but also knowledge on how to?scale, increase margins, and access opportunities for cross-border growth. Their approach underscores the belief that diverse founders can excel, especially when backed with the right resources. Through investments in companies like Pura Mente, Cubbo, and Mozper, Dux Capital is redefining opportunities for the Hispanic community. Their commitment is clear: to harness the untapped potential of Hispanic entrepreneurs who, despite being resourceful and resilient, often face barriers in accessing venture funding. By supporting these founders, Dux Capital aims to transform the narrative around diversity and demonstrate the significant value of investing in Hispanic-owned ventures.
