Laura Gomez Biography

Laura I. Gómez was born in León Guanajuato, México, and grew up in the heart of Silicon Valley, in Redwood City, since she was a young child. She had her first software engineering internship at the age of seventeen at Hewlett Packard Since then, she has worked in small startups and big tech companies alike - most notably YouTube and Twitter as Head of Localization Product and Twitter en español.

She found myself speaking out about my experience and lack of Latinx representation, inclusion, and leadership in the tech ecosystem.

This led her to be a founding team member of Project Include in 2016, an organization t that advocates true inclusion in tech. During this time, she was also fundraising for her startup, Atipica. The company focused on data, diversity, and AI in talent acquisition and was eventually backed by True Ventures, Precursor Ventures, LEAP Global Partners, and Kapor Capital.

Atipica was an enterprise startup that built the world's first proprietary DEI-focused platform for predictive analytics in talent acquisition. She raised the largest financing seed round for a solo Latinx founder in the history of Silicon Valley - $4M in total, while grateful, this was a tiny fraction of male-founded companies in the space raised during that time.

Throughout her career, Gómez has been recognized by numerous publications such as WIRED, Harper's Bazaar, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Silicon Valley Magazine, Latina, Forbes México, La Nación Argentina, El Mercurio Chile, El País España, El Universal México, and The Washington Post. She was also recognized by The Antiracist Research and Policy Center and The Frederick Douglass Foundation in 2019.

Currently, Gómez is an angel and helps underrepresented founders with GTM (Go-To-Market) strategies for their impact and vision. She is also the founder and Executive Director of Proyecto Solace, a community of Latinx peoples investing in our emotional and mental safe spaces for themselves, communities, and collective healing.

She lives in Redwood City, California with her fiancé, a tech privacy advocate, and dogs, Coco and Cosme (named after the vocalist of Café Tacvba). She loves to cook, hike, read, and write.
