Aspiring entrepreneur Jose Mendoza, 35, from Gurnee, Illinois, had only visited the Chicago tech hub 1871 on one other occasion before attending Wednesday night\u2019s Hispanic Technology Showcase. At the end of the presentation, standing among the crowd packed into 1871\u2019s Merchandise Mart auditorium, he said the pitches he\u2019d heard surprised him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even know there were so many tech people out there, especially Hispanics,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to me because it lets me know [that] retail, construction are not all we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mendoza\u2019s reaction is what Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Omar Duque had imagined when he first hatched the idea for the joint 1871 and IHCC Hispanic Tech Incubator, whose inaugural members shared their businesses with over 500 attendees that evening.<\/p>\n

“This is an opportunity for us to show the larger Chicago community, and the larger tech community, that we’re here, that we’re doing this, we’re serious, there’s value in this space, and we want to continue to attract Latino entrepreneurs to be part of this program,\u201d Duque said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s event not only offered a capstone for 10 Latino-founded startups that had spent the last three months growing their businesses at 1871, it marked a milestone in IHCC\u2019s year-long effort to better connect its community with Chicago\u2019s burgeoning tech scene. Duque said the IHCC, often associated with the brick-and-mortar businesses it has traditionally supported, needed to do more to serve Illinois\u2019 young up-and-coming professionals who operate in the new economy.<\/p>\n

“What will we look like in ten years if we’re not servicing this next generation of entrepreneurs?\u201d Duque said. \u201cThat was a real existential question for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Duque, servicing that generation had two components. First, it required improving access to capital that has long eluded the Hispanic business community. According to a 2013 IHCC and DePaul University study, Hispanics compose 17 percent of Illinois\u2019 population, but own only 5 percent of the state\u2019s businesses, even though, according to a 2015 Univision and JPMorgan Chase report, Hispanic entrepreneurs start new businesses at a rate 15 times greater than the national average.<\/p>\n

While Illinois businesses earn, on average, over $1.3 million a year, Hispanic-owned businesses maintain an average income just under $200,000. Contrasting the earning potential of family-owned-and-operated businesses typical of the Hispanic community with those of modern day tech tycoons, Duque said the tech incubator could be one method of attracting investors to the Hispanic business community.<\/p>\n

“Imagine the economic growth when a group that’s one of the fastest in terms of economic development and propagation actually has funding,\u201d said Mark Vargas, 35, an incubator member and co-founder of medical licensure platform Licentiam. \u201cIt\u2019s going to transform communities and cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to capital, Duque said he also wanted to improve access to tech and entrepreneurship resources for a community that isn\u2019t well-connected to them. According to a 2014 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report, the high tech industry sees a lower share of Hispanic employees, 8 percent, as compared to the private sector as a whole, 13.9 percent.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think anybody knows how to tap into all of the resources of 1871 better than Manny, and you see it in the cohort and their ability to really connect, whether it’s to mentors or other companies with entrepreneurs, or even folks in the capital community,\u201d Duque said.<\/p>\n

Access to those resources incited interest in some of the incubator\u2019s inaugural members. Ramon Rodriguez, 40, the founder of business partnership matching site collaborate.biz, said knowing he\u2019d be working in a well-supported space encouraged him to leave the comfort of a corporate job for the startup scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was tinkering with the idea of doing entrepreneurship,\u201d Rodriguez said, \u201cbut it was difficult to form the team, the connections, because a lot of things have to come into place for you to go ahead and take that leap.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Pablo Mitre, 24, founder of tutoring booking app Tandlr, having a home within the cohort made those resources more approachable.<\/p>\n

“At 1871, it’s an awesome space but everybody works on their own projects, and they’re scattered,\u201d Mitre said. \u201cThe community that has been built in through the incubator is really incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

That balance of broad access and intimate community offers a strong model of inclusivity for an industry plagued with diversity concerns. Seasoned entrepreneur Kristen Sonday, 29, co-founder of Paladin, a platform that connects lawyers with pro-bono work, said the partnership between mainstream tech giants, like 1871, and organizations that represent minority communities, like the IHCC, offers a means of developing opportunity pipelines necessary to sustain minority entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think previously we’ve been a little bit siloed from the community and being pulled into these supportive networks is so essential to success and having access,\u201d Sonday said. \u201cThis has actually been a pretty big thing for me.”<\/p>\n

Being pulled into those supportive networks didn\u2019t just benefit the incubator members. 1871 COO Tom Alexander said IHCC and the cohort have become an essential part of the fabric of 1871\u2019s tech community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s fun to hear new points of view, it’s exciting to make the sort of advancements that come from those types of interactions,\u201d Alexander said. \u201cIt feels great to go out in our space and it looks like the United Nations, or the city of Chicago.”<\/p>\n

Early outcomes suggest Duque\u2019s ambitions have been realized. Sonday is about to introduce Paladin to the Chicago pro bono market after a successful New York launch. Rodriguez said he\u2019s had conversations with potential business partners. Vargas has already raised $75,000 for Licentiam. And Duque has been invited to talk about the incubator at a national Hispanic Chamber of Commerce conference later this year.<\/p>\n

While Duque\u2019s hopeful other cities adopt this model to support budding Hispanic entrepreneurs, he thinks Chicago\u2019s early efforts will make the city a leader for minorities in tech.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are going to wake up one day, and Chicago is just going to be a rock star in this space,\u201d Duque said. \u201cI think we\u2019re going to surprise a lot of people.\u201d<\/p>\n
