Select This TierWhat You're Really Investing In
This Isn't a One-Night Thing
Colado Latino Network has a full year of programming ahead. Quarterly Colado main events. Coladito gatherings in between: smaller, more intentional, topic-driven. Workshops on real things: financials, digital presence, business formation, and education on navigating systems not built with us in mind. Economic development programming built specifically for the Latino business owner who is tired of doing it alone.
Your sponsorship doesn't live in one night. It lives across a year of content, events, and community building.
We're also partnering with nonprofits, advocacy groups, and local organizations doing work in the Latino community. Every collaboration, every event, every resource shared in these rooms is part of something bigger. Hispanic families and first-generation entrepreneurs are in these rooms together, building something that crosses generations. Sponsoring Colado Latino Network means your business is part of that story.
Where We Show Up
Hosted at Latino-Owned Businesses. On Purpose.
Every Colado Latino Network event is hosted at a Latino-owned business in Baltimore. That's not a detail. That's the point. We bring 40 to 60 people into a space that belongs to our community and those people spend money, come back, and tell others.
Sponsoring us means you're also supporting the venues that open their doors for this. A growing community of Latinos and their families, showing up, spending real money, and coming back. One investment that moves in multiple directions.

Presenting Sponsor
The Reel Is Yours
Presenting Sponsors get a professionally produced 60-second branded reel. We write the script so it lands with our audience. You approve it before we shoot anything. Our team handles production and delivers the final cut directly to you.
Use it on your own channels. Post it. Keep it. It was made for you.
This isn't a testimonial. It's content built for a specific community that happens to feature your business. That's a different thing.

The Community
Who's In the Room
Colado Latino Network exists for Latinos who grew up being told they didn't fit the rooms they were trying to walk into. For hispanic families where business ownership was always the dream but the roadmap wasn't passed down. For first-generation Americans navigating an economy that doesn't always account for their unique needs.
Right now, we're doing something focused and real. Getting Latinos together in rooms owned by Latinos. That's the foundation everything else builds on. Hispanic families, entrepreneurs, creatives, and first-generation business owners finding each other, building relationships, and realizing the person across the table has been navigating the same things alone.
Colado Latino Network focuses on what happens when Latinos are in the same room together. Rooted in New York energy and planted in Baltimore. Building economic equity across generations. Supporting the dignity and culture of every person who walks through the door.
Founded in January 2026 by five co-founders, all Latino, all New York-raised, because this space didn't exist. Nuestra gente needed somewhere to go. Now it has one. Sponsoring Colado Latino Network puts your organization in that story.
