CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Angeles Ventures, a Latino and woman-led early-stage venture capital fund, is thrilled to announce an anchor investment from Talipot Investments. This exciting partnership will amplify Angeles Ventures’ mission to fuel the extraordinary potential of Latino entrepreneurs, the fastest-growing and most entrepreneurial demographic in the United States.

Latino-led ventures are rewriting the playbook for success in the U.S.,

driving innovation and creating jobs at a remarkable pace. Representing over 20% of the U.S. population, Latinos generate nearly $3 trillion in economic output annually — equivalent to the world’s fifth-largest GDP. Angeles Ventures is seizing the opportunity to leverage this momentum, investing in the tech-enabled B2B and B2C startups that are shaping the future of innovation.

“Our community’s entrepreneurial spirit and track record for scaling businesses are unmatched,” said Adela Cepeda , General Partner at Angeles Ventures. “Talipot’s investment isn’t just a vote of confidence; it’s a strategic alignment that acknowledges the incredible returns Latino-led startups are delivering. Together, we’re building a future where Latino founders have the resources they deserve to thrive.”

To date, Angeles Ventures Fund I has backed five transformative companies — Storybook, Linker Finance, Certiverse, Sigo Seguros, and CodeGPT — collaborating with prominent investors such as Goodwater, Launch (Jason Calacanis), Hyde Park Ventures, Listen Ventures, and Techstars in highly sought-after funding rounds.

“Latino founders have an innate ability to create innovative, scalable businesses that outperform,” added David Olivencia, General Partner at Angeles Ventures. “Talipot’s partnership underscores the massive opportunity in this space. With their support, we’re accelerating our ability to find, fund, and grow the next wave of high-growth startups.”

“Angeles Ventures represents a unique and compelling investment opportunity. Their disciplined approach to identifying and scaling high-growth, tech-enabled startups aligns perfectly with our focus on building long-term wealth through strategic investments,” said Guadalupe C. Rodriguez, Chief Investment Officer, Talipot. “This isn’t just about funding early-stage companies — it’s about partnering with a team with the vision, network, and expertise to deliver outsized returns. At Talipot, we believe that Angeles Ventures is a smart investment and a catalyst for sustainable value creation in the venture capital space.”
