About Samara Mejia Hernandez

Samara Mejia Hernandez is a Mexican immigrant venture capital investor at Chingona Ventures who broke into finance from a non-elite background as the daughter of a maid and busboy, explicitly using her experience having to fight and claw her way into the industry to relate to underestimated founders. She takes a deliberately orthogonal investing approach focused on technology companies serving emerging majority consumers, often backing founders at the idea stage with early conviction-driven checks while combining her engineering degree and Goldman Sachs experience with community building work through cofounding the Latinx Founders Collective.
