Angeles is one of the largest latino focused venture fund. In Q2 they have identified three key companies that are raising money to fund their growth. Take a look, understand why they are "investable" and reflect on your own startup journey. The money is out there, the quality of our ideas and "ganas" are the only limiting factor. Lets GROW! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caju AI is an AI-powered platform that helps regulated organizations securely capture, monitor, archive, and analyze mobile messaging channels like WhatsApp, SMS, Signal, Telegram, and WeChat. Its generative AI detects compliance risks based on intent rather than keywords, helping reduce false positives and improve oversight of customer communications. Why Caju AI Stands Out - 682% YoY ARR growth in 2025 — from $0 to $1.4M ARR, with $5.1M projected for 2026 - 20+ enterprise customers including Pfizer, Transamerica, Eli Lilly, and Fitch Ratings - Proven 61× ROI case study at Transamerica — a rare, verifiable return at this stage - $14M qualified pipeline and $3.1M TCV closed in 2025 - Covers all major messaging channels in one platform — no competitor offers this breadth - Led by Grotech Ventures, with $4M pre-seed already invested What Makes Caju AI Different - Goes beyond legacy lexicon-based compliance tools — its generative AI understands intent, not just flagged words - Single platform for all messaging channels — no patchwork of point solutions - Built for regulated industries (financial services, life sciences, healthcare) where compliance failure carries existential risk - Enterprise integrations with MS Teams, CRM systems, and existing compliance stacks Capital: - Round: Seed  - Preferred Equity - Lead Investor: Grotech Ventures - Pre-Money Valuation: $30M - Capital Raising: $5,000,000 - Capital Raised: ~$3,000,000 - Remaining Allocation: ~$2,000,000 - We have a 2.5x liquidation preference

I’m Lizz Huerta, an author and artist based in Chula Vista, California. For over 25 years, I’ve worked in the worlds of art, storytelling, and activism. My debut novel, The Lost Dreamer (2022), was one of the first Latinx fantasy novels published by a major publishing house and became a finalist for the Barnes & Noble Book of the Year award. I teach creative writing, offer creative consulting, and speak publicly about creativity, storytelling, and lived experience. After taking a two-and-a-half-year pause from my professional life to care full-time for my father during his battle with ALS, I’m now returning to my work carrying both grief and a deeper sense of purpose. Looking forward to connecting and collaborating.🇲🇽🇵🇷🌈
