L'ATTITUDE Match-Up is an opportunity for founders and investors to attend tailored workshops, networking events and educational panels. This event has accredited investors that have direct access to a curated list of investable companies. The founders of the selected companies demonstrate and compete for the L'ATTITUDE Startup of the Year award. It is tailored to US based, owned and lead Latino companies.

This event that ran in September in Miami attracts founders and investors for capital, resources and networking. LAT VC was founded by Sol Trujillo and Gary Acosta, securing investments worth more than $100 million for Latino owned and operated pre-seed to Series A companies. The L'ATTITUDE Match Up takes place over four days at the annual L'ATTITUDE conference, an annual national based conference in the United States that focuses on the New Mainstream Economy.

Winners of the pitch competition receive the L'ATTITUDE Startup Of the Year ward, receiving exclusive press coverage, introductions to top co-investors and the accelerated opportunity to join LAT VC's portfolio. The event is focused on Latinos, where they can gather together and meet influential institutional partners, venture funds and more.

With less than two percent of venture capital being awarded to Latino businesses, the demand for L'ATTITUDE Match Up has risen exponentially over the past couple of years. This annual showcase matches early stage Latino entrepreneurs with strategic partners and investors. The finalists compete on the main L'ATTITUDE stage for the title, receiving direct investments from LAT VC.

Kennie Blanco, the CIO and Managing Partner at LAT VC, said “L'ATTITUDE Match-Up is a trusted way that secures capital from investors of all stages and types boosting the success for Latino entrepreneurs. This is an annual pitch competition that had great success again this year in Miami. Selected entrepreneurs are chosen to showcase their business to a national audience including institutional funds, angel investors and strategic investors. We invest throughout the year and invest in many startups that pitch on the main L'ATTITUDE Match Up stage.”

The event is brimming with global investors and leaders. LAT VC was founded in 2018 and continues to grow in demand with Latino entrepreneurs. The L'ATTITUDE Match Up competition runs over four days and the next scheduled event is September 12th to 15th, 2024 in San Diego. Full details and a pitch form can be found on the LAT VC website.
