Building strong Latino-led businesses starts with something fundamental: community, trust, and purposeful connection. The Latino Business Referral Network (LBRN) continues to exemplify what’s possible when professionals come together with a shared commitment to mutual growth and accountability.
At every LBRN meeting, the power of relationship-driven networking is on full display—creating space for Latino professionals and small business owners to exchange knowledge, support one another, and build a referral network grounded in integrity and shared success. This is not networking for networking’s sake; it’s about cultivating long-term partnerships that strengthen both individual businesses and the broader Latino economic ecosystem.
At Silicon Valley Latino and The SVL Agency, we are proud to have supported LBRN and to deepen that commitment through our founder’s active membership this year. We believe organizations like LBRN play a critical role in advancing Latino entrepreneurship, and we encourage our community to learn more about the opportunities they create for collaboration, growth, and collective impact.
SVL Founder Alex Ontiveros shares why the Latino Business Referral Network continues to resonate with Latino professionals and small business owners:
