Baltimore, MD
The Latino Business Network Baltimore Was Missing.
Colado Latino Network brings together Latino entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners. One gathering at a time. Nuestra gente.
Colado Latino Network is Baltimore's gathering space for Latino entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners.
We host in-person events where you can meet people who are building in this city, share resources, and find your people. No pitch decks. No gatekeeping. Just real connection between Latino professionals who are serious about growing together.
If you've ever walked into a networking event and felt like it wasn't built for you, this one is.
What We Do
More Than a Networking Event
Connect
Real introductions between Latino entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals building in Baltimore. No awkward small talk scripts. Just real people finding each other.
Build
Every room we fill is an investment in the community. We bring together people with skills, capital, ideas, and ambition so they can grow something together. Not alone.
Celebrate
We show up in spaces that belong to us. Hosted by Latino-owned businesses, for our gente. That's not an accident. Es de nosotros.
What's Coming Up
Next Gathering
The Next One Is Coming.
We just wrapped our second large event at The Empanada Lady. We're already working on what's next. Follow us on Instagram to be the first to know when it drops — that's where we announce first.
How We Gather
Two Ways to Connect
Colado
Quarterly
The main event. 50 to 60 people. A Latino-owned venue. Two hours of real introductions between entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners who are serious about building in Baltimore. Hosted quarterly.
Coladito
Ongoing
Smaller. More intentional. Topic-driven. Coladito gathers a tighter group around a specific theme or conversation: financials, digital presence, business formation, community. These run between the main events and go deeper.

Colado Connects
La Conexión Sigue.
The event ends, but the network keeps building. Whether you met someone at Colado and want to go deeper, or you've never been in the same room, Colado Connects pairs two Latino professionals for one intentional introduction. Meet someone new or keep a connection going. Either way, the community grows.

About Colado Latino Network
Built by Us. For Us.
Colado Latino Network is a Baltimore-based community for Latino entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners. We host in-person networking events at Latino-owned businesses across the city because the space for this kind of connection didn't exist here. So we built it.
Most Latino business networks are national organizations with applications, membership fees, and minimum revenue requirements to get in the door. We're not that. It doesn't matter if you've been running your business for ten years or still figuring out the name. If you're building something and you want to be in a room with people who get it, you belong here.
No applications. No pitch pressure. Just Baltimore's Latino business community, in the same room, building something real together.
Support the Network
Become a Sponsor
Our events bring Baltimore's Latino business community into the same room. That's a specific, motivated audience. Latino entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals who are actively building.
Sponsorship puts your business in front of that community in a way that matters. Not an ad. A presence.

Bodega and Vino
Baltimore, MD · Locust Point
A neighborhood wine bar, specialty bodega, and community gathering space in Locust Point. Coffee in the morning, tapas and wine at night. Always a seat for la comunidad.
They opened their space so nuestra gente could find each other. That's what this is supposed to feel like.
The Empanada Lady
Baltimore, MD · Downtown
Handmade empanadas and Latin flavors right in the middle of downtown Baltimore. The kind of spot you find once and immediately want to tell everyone about.
They opened their kitchen so nuestra gente could gather in May. That's what a real host does.
