MIAMI, FL \u2014 May 12, 2022 \u2014 (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE<\/a>) \u2014 Nuestro Stories Co-Founder and Brilla Media Ventures CEO Angela Sustaita-Ruiz has been named to Inicio Ventures\u2019 100 Rising Latinx Founders to Watch List<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spearheaded by Hispanics in Philanthropy<\/a> (HIP) in partnership with Inicio Ventures, the 100 Rising Latinx Founders to Watch is an annual publication showcasing the inspirational US-based Latinx founders who through their life stories, leadership, accomplishments, and startup vision are making a significant difference and are poised for success.\u00a0 HIP provides philanthropic resources and investments to Latino entrepreneurs and groups across Hispanic communities in the U.S. and Latin America.<\/p>\n

To be included in this list, founders need to identify as Latinx, their startups must be based in the US and they had to have raised less than $1M in capital.<\/p>\n

Sustaita-Ruiz was chosen for creating Brilla Media\u2019s flagship Nuestro Stories (NuestroStories.com<\/a>) which is a digital media, documentaries and cultural history platform focused on U.S. origins and histories and partnered with the FRIENDS of the Museum of the American Latino.<\/p>\n

In a statement announcing this year\u2019s honorees, Inicio Ventures said: \u201cWe firmly believe every 100 is a sample of the depth and breadth of the Latinx startup talent pipeline\u2013investable and ready for your support. This year\u2019s Rising 100 Latinx founders can be found across sectors, locations and demographics.\u201d<\/p>\n

In tandem with the list, Inicio Ventures and HIP also announced a startup registry in the hopes of eventually identifying every single Latino founder and startup in the U.S.\u00a0 That registry can be accessed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
