Venture capitalist, community builder, and TEDx speaker on inclusion and innovation.

Lolita Taub is a venture capitalist, keynote speaker, and changemaker on a mission to build a more inclusive and connected tech ecosystem. As General Partner at Ganas Ventures, she invests in pre-seed and seed community-driven startups across the US and Latin America. Recognized by Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur.com, Lolita’s career is a powerful example of turning challenges into strengths. From South Central Los Angeles to the global stage, she has become one of the most inspiring voices in venture capital, known for her empathy-driven leadership, sharp insights, and engaging storytelling.

 

From South Central to Silicon Valley

Lolita Taub’s journey began far from the traditional paths of tech and venture capital. Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, she learned early what resilience, ambition, and community truly mean. These roots shaped her into the leader she is today, a woman who doesn’t just break barriers but builds bridges for others to cross. Her story is one of transformation, a reminder that innovation can come from anywhere, and that inclusion is not a trend but a necessity for progress.

 

Redefining Venture Capital

As General Partner at Ganas Ventures, Lolita invests in community-driven companies at the pre-seed and seed stages in both the US and Latin America. Her approach to venture capital goes beyond financial returns, it’s about creating lasting impact through inclusive ecosystems. With over $70M in tech sales and more than 100 investments, her record speaks for itself. But what truly sets her apart is how she invests: in people, potential, and purpose. She believes that when communities thrive, economies and innovations follow.

 

Turning Challenges into Superpowers

Lolita’s success is deeply tied to her authenticity. She openly speaks about her experiences with ADHD, PTSD, and anxiety, challenges that she has turned into her greatest strengths.

  • Her ADHD fuels her creative and out-of-the-box thinking.

  • PTSD has forged her resilience and adaptability in the face of pressure.

  • Anxiety has given her a rare depth of empathy in a fast-paced industry.
    These superpowers have helped her lead with compassion, connect deeply with others, and inspire audiences to embrace their own differences as strengths. Lolita’s story reminds us that authenticity isn’t a weakness, it’s a competitive edge.

 

Building Communities That Thrive

Beyond her investments, Lolita has built a vibrant global community of more than 85,000 founders, investors, and changemakers. This network thrives on collaboration, shared learning, and mutual support. Her work demonstrates that success in tech and venture isn’t just about capital, it’s about connection. She empowers others to think differently about leadership, diversity, and innovation, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond her own portfolio.

 

A Voice for the Future of Innovation

When Lolita takes the stage, whether at TEDx, Meta, Zoom, or prestigious universities like Stanford and Harvard, audiences don’t just hear a talk; they experience a movement. Her sessions blend personal storytelling with actionable insights, challenging audiences to see the future of business and innovation through a more inclusive lens.

“Lolita is a true connector and visionary. She foresaw the value brought about by a series of tribal gaming partners, made introductions, and enabled my organization to run a forward thinking tribal gaming booth at the largest tribal gaming conference, the National Indian Gaming Association Conference. Lolita also put the Synergy and Cisco Reservation of the Future solution on the map. Incredible.”

“Lolita is one of the best persons that I've met this year, and I have met hundreds of them. She is very pleasant to work with, and adds tremendously value through her network of connections. We decided to merge her project, The F SHOW, into SoGal, and she magically made the experience effortless. With her help, SoGal is now a global community of emerging, diverse entrepreneurs in 20+ countries in 6 continents. I am happy to recommend Lolita to anyone (and I already can't stop talking about her), because of her capability in relationship management and business development. She is truly a great asset!”

“Strategic and results-oriented leader” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Lolita. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing her for the year, during her internship with K Fund and as an MBA candidate at the IE Business School. Above all, I’ve been impressed with Lolita’s ability to strategically form alliances with the startup and VC community, mobilize resources (in and out the tech space), lead and manage her MBA capstone project team, and accomplish her goals. And of course, I appreciate that as she accomplishes objectives and grows she shares insights through her talks and blog posts. Lolita would be a true asset for any position requiring a strategic thinking mind that gets things done!”

Keynotes

Keynote by Lolita Taub:

The Future is Multi-Hyphenated in the Era of Community

Jay Z said it best: I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man. The multi-hyphenation of individuals is the future. It will be the norm for people to have a portfolio of companies and employment, thanks to market shifts in employment (The Great Resignation, COVID catalyzed), lack of life satisfaction in status quo work environments, and the need to generate revenue to stay afloat and make ends meet. 

In her talk, Lolita Taub explains why the future is multi-hyphenated in the era of community and how organizations can leverage this new market shift in creating or maintaining their edge.

Keynote by Lolita Taub:

Latinx Allyship, Power, and Belonging

A leadership + motivational fireside chat.

Host a candid leadership and motivational 1-hour fireside-chat about Latinx allyship, power, and belonging, that goes beyond generic Latinx discussion, brings awareness and understanding of the complexity of the Latinx experience in the workplace, tech, finance, and U.S. The chat will provide employees with differentiated content around real matters or themes that affect the Latinx community and our Allies. 

Topics

  • Power and allyship: Underrepresentation can make it difficult for Latinx to achieve their goals and aspirations. And even when companies understand the benefits of greater diversity and inclusion, there is a perception that it will take a long time for change to occur. We can change that with the power of allyship.

  • Belonging and allyship: Identity is complex and not binary — people can (and do) associate to multiple identities on a spectrum based on gender, race, orientation, etc. This intersectionality is important to recognize not only for those in the Latinx community but for Allies. 

Audience take-away: Latinx members can walk away with a strategy or tactic to have conversations with their peers regarding their identity and/or advancing their careers.

Who this is for: Professionals, allies, and companies that welcome individuals and support the attraction, engagement, and growth of their Latinx talent while celebrating the diverse cultures within this community.

Keynote by Lolita Taub:

A disruption and innovation workshop.

In this 1-hour workshop and Q&A session, we create an opportunity for individuals to widen their perspective on bias in artificial intelligence (AI). Often the concept of AI gets watered down to the ideology that it is neutral and therefore does not include discussions of race, class, sex, etc. Through this workshop, Lolita discusses the various ways in which AI can both address and amplify bias, using historical and contemporary examples. 

Topics

  • AI overview

  • AI disruption and innovation: We discuss the impact of AI on our personal and professional lives.

  • Interactive AI and bias group and individual exercise: Through a couple of exercises we witness first-hand how AI can both amplify and address bias

  • Ensuring inclusive AI: We go over how techie and non-techie people can address and keep bias out.

Audience take-away: Audience members, both technical and non-technical, can walk away curious, with a clear understanding of AI basics, its implications, and tactics to combat bias in AI in and out of work.

Who this is for: Students, employees, and organizations that want to expand their community’s understanding of bleeding-edge technologies, their implications on humanity, and what we can do to make sure tech is inclusive.
