Incredibly excited to announce I have joined the Trez (Techstars ‘23) Advisory Board! There are over 32 million small businesses in the U.S., almost 5 million are latino-owned generating $2.8 trillion in economic output. Small businesses are the engine for our economy- generating 2 out of 3 new jobs in the last 25 years and 44% of GDP. All of these employees need to get paid and the owners need to focus on what they do best - growing their companies. Trez is well-positioned to capture their fare share of this attractive market. Whether you’re a #smallbusiness, private investor, accountant or banker, I invite you to get to know Trez! #latinosintech #venturecapital #saas #saasstartups #hrcompliance #hroutsourcing #payroll #payrollservices #latinobusinesses
