What if building generational wealth also means understanding venture capital, angel investing, and who gets access to startup funding?
In this episode of the Say Hola Wealth Podcast, I sit down with Lolita Taub, founder of Ganas Ventures and author of What Actually Matters: Startups, Capital, and the Rules Nobody Taught Us. We break down the investing ecosystem, the hidden “access tax,” and why more Latinas and first-gen wealth builders belong in the rooms where capital is being invested.
✨ How venture capital and angel investing work
✨ Why Latina founders face barriers to accessing capital
✨ What the “access tax” means for first-gen entrepreneurs and investors
✨ How founders can navigate rejection and find the right investors
✨ Why proximity and relationships matter when building wealth
✨ How angel investing can become part of generational wealth building
✨ Why Latinas belong on both sides of the table—as founders and investors
Want to better understand startups, investing, venture capital, and the rules that can be difficult to learn when you weren’t born into these networks?
