LOS ANGELES, May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Univision Los Angeles has joined forces with Wells Fargo Bank and The Adelante Movement presented by Coca-Cola to host the POSiBLE LA Entrepreneur Summit, a one-day event to empower aspiring business owners to build their ideas and grow their companies. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from LA’s top entrepreneurs and self-made professionals on how to plan, finance, structure, launch and grow a business. POSiBLE LA takes place on Saturday, May 20th at The Reef/LA Mart located at 1933 S. Broadway – 2nd Floor, Los Angeles 90007 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

The event, which is curated with Angelino entrepreneurs in mind, will feature workshops from participating nonprofits, industry leader keynotes and panel conversations focused on the summit’s four zones of a business: plan it; finance; business structure; and launch & grow it. Entrepreneurs will receive access to critical resources such as training and tools.

The all-day event features keynote speakers including the “Tropical Tycoon” Nely Galán, founder of The Adelante Movement presented by Coca-Cola, financial expert Julie Stav, Julie Stav Inc. and Tina Aldatz, CEO of Savvy Travelers. Nely Galán has also partnered with the network’s top rated morning show “Despierta América” to launch Adelante América!, a new campaign to help budding female entrepreneurs or family business owners build their financial futures.

“Latinos today are central to America’s economic prosperity; in LA there are more than 500,000 Hispanic-owned businesses that generate $55.6M in sales and receipts. There’s no question that this is a powerful and growing force in LA’s local economic life,” said Luis Patiño, senior vice president and general manager of Univision Los Angeles. “Our community is hungry for information, guidance and resources that will empower them with the connections, tools and access to prosper, and POSiBLE LA offers just that.”

Representing one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. population, Hispanic Americans own 3.3 million businesses that contribute $500B to the American economy.
