Welcome back for Season 3 of Access and Opportunity. This season, we're exploring how influential investors from across various pools of capital are helping women and multicultural-led businesses gain access to capital. In this episode, we’re talking to Monika Mantilla, a champion for emerging managers and a leader in the Hispanic business and finance communities.
As founder and CEO of Altura Capital, Ms. Mantilla has played an important role in connecting institutional investors with emerging managers from diverse backgrounds. She also leads Small Business Community Capital, an investment fund that helps businesses deliver opportunities for societal transformation. Monika talks to us about how she got her start in finance, why there is a dearth of money managers of color, how she sought to remedy that problem with Altura, and how her work with Small Business Community Capital is enacting social change through impactful investments in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Along the way, we hear from Los Cidrines, a Puerto Rican company that has partnered with Monika and Small Business Community Capital. Maria Cidre, the president and CEO of Cidrines, tells us how her relationship with Monika opened doors and increased opportunities for her company throughout the entire United States. Come and join us for the ride!
