World’s first social impact bonds. 15+ entrepreneurship programs. 1000+ founders and investors. 95 investments. High NPS scores.

I’m only getting started.

I’m Marcia or you can call me MC. I’m building an economy by us, for all. I enjoy reimagining how things are built and who gets to participate across private and public spaces. I’ve made my way in nonprofits, entrepreneurial ecosystem building, venture capital, social impact, and impact investing.

I was employee #7 at a new nonprofit where I built the first Social Impact Bonds at U.S. county and state levels, projects sized at $33M collectively, impacting 1000+ people and families navigating the justice, shelter, and foster care systems. I’ve built 15+ culturally adaptive entrepreneurship programs for 1000+ founders, investors, and ecosystem builders, leading to 95 venture investments. I’ve led an Economic Opportunity Practice focused on the peer selection investment model. I co-founded a community of now 400+ Latine venture capitalists during the first year of the 2020 pandemic. I’ve advised a federal agency funding technology and innovation. In my first year, 67% of the teams I coached raised $20M in funding. I’ve advocated fiercely for the advancement of talented peers and others.

I did none of this alone. I did this in community. I did this with the privilege of 20+ “mentors” believing in me. I did this while navigating mental health and autoimmunity struggles, as well as professional challenges. I did this through curiosity and intention.

I want to see a world where people across lived experiences make it by uplifting one another. Feel free to explore these pages and reach out if we’re aligned in values, culture, and mission.
