Supporting the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Superstars Program

The Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce works to brighten the future of disadvantaged students through their Superstars Competition, which teaches entrepreneurial skills to students and which culminates in a city-wide competition for students from Austin’s five Title 1 high schools.

The Southwest Angel Network is involved in the competition in three ways:

1. Our angels helped mentor and coach all the student teams at Akins High School in January and February.
2. At the city-wide competition on March 6th, our network selected Heaven Leigh Contreras from Lanier High School, and her company Trace Ace, as the Social-impact Winner, and awarded Heaven a $2,000 college scholarship.
3. Heaven will be presenting the Trace Ace business plan to our network of angel investors at our Q2 dinner pitch event in May.
