El Mercado Mondays🪇

I'm Gustavo Casas & I'm all about community. If we've met you know that I've gotten very lucky off doing just one thing: Connecting people.

La Plaza found immediate success, with nearly 100 latinos braving the storm. One pattern stood out, one common request. Know who's hiring?

So we listened & decided to bring to life El Mercado, with that as the single North Star🌟

El Mercado's purpose is to create an environment that facilitates latino's hiring & helping other latino's. The 1st Monday of every month, curated & hosted sector by sector starting in May.
