LEAP

We Bring Private Equity Structure to Latino-Owned Growth-Stage Businesses


Less than 3% of Latino-owned businesses ever reach $1M in annual revenue. LEAP was built to change that. It brings private equity structure to Main Street businesses—applying benchmarking, diagnostics, and expert operator-led execution to help growth-stage founders scale beyond the $1M revenue threshold, where businesses transition from income generation to enterprise and wealth creation.

LEAP helped surface some key areas of growth for myself as a manager and in my operation. Some insights were quick take-aways and others were things I’ll need to plan and organize before implementing. And getting to hear from other business owners in various industries was a big plus.”
