Denver7: Latino Businesses Are the Backbone of Our Economy

Oct 10, 2024

Latino-owned businesses are the backbone of our economy, but only 3% reach the million-dollar mark. Meet Roberto Meza, a visionary entrepreneur who joined the first cohort of the Latino Leadership Institute’s Latino Entrepreneur Accelerator Program (LEAP). Today, he is leading a thriving business that is strengthening the relationship between producers, suppliers, and customers while providing Denver communities with higher-quality, locally sourced food.

Roberto’s achievements are a testament to the extraordinary talent and potential of Latino entrepreneurs. With our investment and commitment, they can build businesses that will redefine the economic landscape of the U.S. for the better, unlocking the incredible potential of our country’s economic future.

But they can’t do it alone.

That’s why the Latino Leadership Institute is bridging this gap, providing essential resources and support to Latino entrepreneurs to grow and scale their businesses.

Learn more about Roberto’s inspiring leadership and the work of the LLI here through his recent interview with Denver7’s Angelika Albaladejo, also an LLI graduate.
