“The highlight of the LBAN experience is really around people”. -Yareli Esteban, CEO & President of Strategar At LBAN, we believe scaling a business goes beyond strategy: it’s about the relationships you build, the insights you gain, and the community that becomes family and supports you long after the program ends. Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey, often lacking access to the capital, opportunities, and networks everyone deserves. But community changes that. It helps entrepreneurs overcome barriers and thrive. Within each LBAN cohort, entrepreneurs begin to see themselves not just as individuals but as part of something bigger, an ecosystem built on trust, collaboration, and collective power to shape an economy that works better for everyone. If you’re ready to connect, grow, and scale alongside other entrepreneurs nationwide, applications for the LBAN Business Scaling Program at Stanford GSB are open!

“As a woman in LBAN, you feel important, you feel taken care of, you feel part of something amazing.” - Mariet Ostos. That’s the kind of welcoming environment we strive for at LBAN, one where, for many entrepreneurs, it’s the first time they feel they truly belong and aren’t alone. It’s a community that supports and uplifts one another throughout their journey. Mariet’s story is truly inspirational. Twenty-five years ago, she never imagined that the challenges she faced would lead her to where she is today. Today, as Founder and CEO of Success Orlando, Mariet is scaling her business and growing her impact! Through our program, Mariet gained new ideas but most importantly, a network where she felt part of something bigger and supported throughout her journey. Mariet graduated last year from Cohort 18 of the LBAN Business Scaling Program at Stanford GSB. If you’re ready to scale your business alongside this powerful network, applications for our next Business Scaling Program are now open.

Latinos are driving entrepreneurship in the U.S. economy. They’re starting businesses faster, increasing revenues faster, and providing more jobs with better benefits across the board. In addition, research shows that without the rapid creation of new businesses in the last 5 years by Latinos, the total number of businesses in the country would have suffered a decline. There is no other opportunity as great as the one that Latinos represent for the U.S. economy. Together, we can lift each other and unlock opportunities that will benefit everyone in the country. Now more than ever, having a supportive ecosystem is crucial. Join us today at the 2025 SOLE Summit to continue building the ecosystem that everyone deserves. https://bit.ly/SOLE-2025 🌐 Share this with your network!

“It’s good to know that there is a network of people who are willing to help you.” – Carlos Sierra, Cohort 18 of LBAN’s Business Scaling Program at Stanford GSB. Carlos’s words are a powerful reminder of how collaborating and having a professional community that supports you are crucial. At our programs, entrepreneurs have a mind shift focusing on how they can contribute to one another, not just what they can gain. We intentionally create welcoming spaces where ecosystem building is at the core. This is a network of mutual support, built on trust, powered by connection, and focused on outcomes. At LBAN, entrepreneurs don’t walk alone; they walk together. They don’t see rivals, they see allies. These relationships across the ecosystem are what truly move the needle.
