Empanada Entrepreneurs

We're closing out Hispanic Heritage Month at First Citizens Innovation Banking. We're hosting venture-backed founders in one room with coffees & empanadas. Past editions have brought together close to 200 founders from pre-seed to Series E, along with active investors. Our Empanada partner is Nuchas, founded by Ariel, a Latino founder, built right here in New York. Registration is curated to keep the room founder-heavy. If you're a venture-backed founder or an active investor, request a spot.
