About LatinXPV

LatinXPV is an STTE program that assisted ten LatinX startupsthrough an incremental journey focusing on five foundational pillars of People, Place, Partners, Program, and Pitches. During the program, startups collaborated in two, five-startup cohorts in an entrepreneurial ecosystem that features a business model, sprint and pitches. 

STTE partnered with New Mexico State University Arrowhead Center to deploy a LatinX Sprint that assisted startups with a sprint that focused on pivoting business models to address challenges presented by COVID-19 (e.g. bringing business online, considering new markets and customers, solidifying brand identity, etc.).

STTE also offered support to startups for technology equipment, programmer hours, financial & legal services. (e.g. purchasing of laptops, reimbursement of developer hours, appropriate software, marketing services, accounting services and legal services).
