Listen now
Description
Latinos currently represent 17% of the population in the United States, yet they are vastly underrepresented in the tech industry, where they only make up roughly 8% of the workforce? Although LatinX entrepreneurs are creating new innovations every day, the face of tech remains the same. To kick off Season 2, we’ve teamed up with WE.NYC to showcase tech entrepreneurs from all backgrounds who are defying these odds, and taking new routes to enter this sector. In our first installment of the series, we chat with LatinX entrepreneur Alexandra Zatarain, the co-founder and CMO of Eight Sleep, a technology company focused on helping people sleep better through data and connected home products. The company makes high-tech mattresses and sleep products to turn bedtime into recovery time—filled with healthcare insights and analytics–with hope of sleep quality translating to life quality. Join us as we talk w/ Zatarain about her journey as a LatinX entrepreneur and how she is giving back to other Latin entrepreneurs through her mentorship with WE.NYC. If you are an entrepreneur,  investor, or an ally, this is one episode you do not want to miss
