EP 241 Investing in Community-Driven Startups in the US and Latin America

Startup Life Show with Ande Lyons

Growing up an underestimated, first-generation Mexican-American daughter to immigrants, our guest, Lolita Taub, had a dream to give her family a better shot at life.
Today Lolita is a General Partner at Ganas Ventures, where she invests in pre-seed and seed community-driven companies in the US and Latin America, with a mission of creating generational wealth in community.
With 15 years working within the Silicon Valley ecosystem, she has accomplished $70M+ in sales and made 90+ investments as an Angel Investor, she’s a Scout at Lightspeed Venture Partners, and a VC at Backstage Capital and The Community Fund.
Lolita is also a Co-Founder of proprietary matching tools Startup-Investor Matching Tool, the GP-LP Matching Tool, and the LaaS (Lolita as a Service!) community, which brings along a community of over 4K+ founders, funders, and ecosystem friends.
Forbes and Inc Magazine have featured Lolita as a woman promoting investment in underestimated founders and funders. She has a BA from the University of Southern California and an MBA from the IE Business School.
Lolita is currently in LATAM, hunting for unicorns, and most importantly, she is a dog mom to the cutest Dachshund mix, Choco.
