Mendoza Impact's 2023 FOUNDER of the Year is Samuel Ulloa! When we launched our founder cohort in August, Sam dropped everything and lived out of a hotel for a week to support four founders he didn't know. If you know him, this is very much on brand for Samuel Ulloa. He brought Listo Unlimited (and Oportun) to market before anyone took the Latino market seriously in the US, I have watched him patiently explain the opportunity that comes with inclusion (of 20% of the population) for years, and it is a joy to be on this journey with him as Listo takes off. He intentionally diversified his own board with his Mendoza Ventures investment and the addition of Catriona Forrester, and this month we are joined there by the amazing Elizabeth Coston McCluskey. Sam leads the tech community with heart, patience, and unwavering determination. Congratulations Sam! You make it look easy. Mendoza Impact Roman Leal, CFA Paul M.
