Latinos’ entrepreneurial spirit was highlighted as well, with a 34% business startup rate compared to the national average of 7%.<\/p>\n Despite these notable achievements, Latino entrepreneurs continue to face significant challenges. The event emphasized the need for reform in the banking sector, as Latinos are 60% less likely to receive bank loans from major institutions. Government contracts were also addressed, revealing that Latino entrepreneurs receive contracts that are 31 times smaller than those awarded to their white counterparts.<\/p>\n The event featured an impactful panel discussion, that included local Houston entrepreneurs and esteemed LBAN alumni. During the discussion, participants shared personal stories of triumphs and challenges faced in growing their businesses as Latina and Latino entrepreneurs. <\/p>\n One of the remarkable panelists was LuzElena Rivers, MBA, CEO of Amera<\/a>, the #1 ambulatory day surgery transportation agency in the US.
