IHCC President and CEO Omar Duque and 1871 Incubator Director Manny Ozaeta took to the Tastytrade airwaves last week to chat about the latest news out of 1871's first incubator cohort for Latinx entrepreneurs. Appearing on the Bootstrapping in America program, the pair talked with host and Chicagoland Entrepreneurship Center Board Member Kristi Ross about the curated content and mentorship opportunities provided to the 12 Latinx owned startups by the joint 1871 and IHCC incubator.
