Sick of the stale fluorescent lights of the corporate world, Brittany started to Uber and used that money to travel to Nicaragua and Guatemala where she gained a whole new perspective and love for her culture. When she returned to LA, targeted immigration policies were running rampant, her pride turned to anger and Brittany put her boots to the ground protesting. Wanting to do more, she started promoting Latinx businesses online and that was the beginning of her journey to create Shop Latinx. Today, Brittany has grown Shop Latinx exponentially and raised 1 million dollars in venture capital in just three months...she continues to forge a path for women who look like her all while growing her shop. Co-Founder of Claima and Former Nike Marketer, Bimma Williams interviews leading and emerging creatives and entrepreneurs of color about how they were able to build their own tables by turning their hobbies, side hustles, and ideas into thriving small businesses. From these stories, listeners will learn how to claim their dream careers by stepping into the world of entrepreneurship. Featuring Melody Ehsani, Jeff Staple, James Whitner and more.

Shop Latinx was created after the 2016 presidential election when Chavez found herself at a career and identity crossroads. She was itching to find a passion in life using her skills to develop solutions for the Latinx community. After realizing there was no specific group amplifying the work of Latinx small business owners, Chavez built the platform. With Shop Latinx, Chavez created a space that harnesses the power of investing in the Latinx community through your dollar.

The purchasing power of the Latinx community has grown substantially in the past 30 years, from $213 billion in 1990 to over $1.9 trillion in 2020. Yet, venture capital funding for businesses started by Latinx founders still sits below 2% year over year. Brittany Chavez is here to change that. She built Shop Latinx to create a shopping experience around all the passionate, talented Latinx creatives and makers in the world. Her vision is to amplify the work of Latinx and BIPOC business owners by curating a marketplace that speaks directly to our community. We talk about how she turned a brilliant Instagram handle into a business, raising the first $1MM from VCs of color and her personal growth as a founder.
Today, we're talking about the big $1 million dollars and how to successfully fundraise in today's digital age. In the first of a two-part series done in collaboration with Latinx professional network La Nueva Link, we discuss what it takes to fundraise and build a brand that lasts. Latino entrepreneurs historically have had difficulty attaining the capital from banks and investors needed to survive and scale. Per a report published by McKinsey, “Latinos have the lowest rate of using bank and financial institution loans to start their businesses compared with other racial and ethnic groups,” leaving them to rely more on personal funds. In this episode, we speak with Latinx founder of Shop Latinx Brittany Chavez, who has raised more than $1 million, and leader in the venture capitalist space as well as Partner at $100 million fund LAT VC Laura Moreno Lucas, to demystify the fundraising process and the gaps in the system where it can better serve Latinx founders.

The Homies sit down with Brittany Chavez, founder of ShopLatinx. We have an incredibly vulnerable conversation about life, love, family, dreams etc. We decided to do something different and start this episode with questions from the purpose driven game WE'RE NOT REALLY STRANGERS (WNRS). WNRS is a card game designed to create meaningful connections and inspire genuine connections. Honestly, it was the perfect way to explore who Brittany really is. We talk about how ShopLatinx was started and what kept Brittany from giving up on it all. Often times we only see the fruits of success. We never see all the everything that happens behind making something beautiful. This conversation really encapsulates the beauty in the struggle. So, tap in to listen to us share, inspire, cry, and most importantly HEAL. Much Love, The Homies
