Along with our CEO Jorge Garcia we're honored to be selected as one of the #Best100Latino Early-Stage #Startups at #LatinoTechWeek 2026 during #NYTechWeek. 🙌 Linker Finance was chosen by a jury of top VC firms from every major tech hub in the U.S. and Latin America as part of the first-ever list of its kind. 50 U.S. Latino-led startups. All Pre-Seed to Pre-Series A. All building something worth betting on. We'll be celebrated at Soho House #NYC on June 3rd during #NewYorkTechWeek, alongside a cohort of founders who are rewriting what the future of tech looks like and who gets to build it. This recognition means a lot to us. Community banks have been underserved by technology for decades. That's why we exist, getting that mission recognized by the people who fund the future means we're on the right track, and it only makes us push harder. 💪 Thank you to #LatinoTechWeek Andrés Cano Rafael Barroso Colectivo NYC and Cooley LLP for championing the next generation of Latino builders. 🏗️ #LatinoTechWeek #Best100 #LatinxInTech #LinkerFinance #Fintech #CommunityBanking

📜 A stronger CD strategy starts before the rate is posted. For community banks, the bigger question is what role CDs are meant to play in the broader deposit strategy: acquisition, retention, funding, maturity, and long-term relationship value. That means being clear on what the product is meant to do, how it will be funded, what happens at maturity, and whether it supports long-term relationship growth. read more here: https://lnkd.in/g4abqxKx #linkerfinance #DepositGrowth #BankingStrategy #DigitalBanking #BankInnovation #CommunityBanks

At Linker Finance, we believe #communitybanks should not be left behind as technology evolves. Spending time at Google I/O in #SF was a reminder of how quickly AI is moving, and how important it is to bring those learnings back into practical, secure, and meaningful innovation for financial institutions. Grateful Tiq Chapa for the invitation and the opportunity to connect with founders, investors, Googlers, and AI leaders building the next wave. #LinkerFinance #SmallBizBanking #CommunityBanks #AIGovernance

🛍️ 60% of small businesses applied for financing last year. Only 42% got what they asked for. The opportunity for community banks isn't just lending, it's becoming the daily financial partner SMBs actually need. Fintechs are competing for SMB workflows. But community banks have something they can't replicate: the ability to unify personal and business finances into one human, personal relationship. 🤝 What National Small Business Month means for community banks 👇 https://lnkd.in/gyWYcbJR

Carrying forward the momentum from last week and stepping into this one with intention: our CEO Jorge Garcia sharing the stage with amazing founders to talk about what’s ahead, the challenges founders are navigating, and the metrics that matter for 2026. Thanks Angeles Investors, for bringing together founders, investors, and operators for such a thoughtful conversation. #AngelesMembers #LatinoGrowth #StartupPlaybook #AI #Community #Entrepreneurship
The “Startup Playbook: What makes a startup win in 2026?” session at our Q2 Summit had our attendees' full attention! Moderated by Jeshua Cardenas, this conversation brought together incredible leaders, including Danny Navarro from Google for Startups, Tanya Menendez from Nearshore, Jorge Garcia from Linker Finance, and Eduardo Indacochea from Scowtt. The panel dug into what founders, investors, and leaders are seeing right now across the startup ecosystem. • Distribution matters more than ever in an AI-saturated market • Real adoption beats hype every time • Revenue and retention matter more than vanity metrics • Proprietary datasets and workflow integration are becoming the new moat • The next generation of software companies will be built around AI workflow entrenchment Beyond the technology, another idea stood out. As AI commoditizes execution, the companies that endure may become more human, not less. Emotional intelligence, authenticity, creativity, trust, and community-building are becoming even more valuable in a world filled with automation. This was the kind of conversation Angeles was built for. #ToTheFuture Attend our Q3 Summit for FREE! https://lnkd.in/gFX2hu5V #AngelesMembers #Q2Summit #LatinoGrowth #StartupPlaybook #AI #Entrepreneurship #Community #VentureCapital #ToTheFuture
