Nuestro Stories has been selected to join its group of investments in diversely owned media companies.

Jessica Salinas is NMV's chief investment officer.

We’re excited about this investment in Nuestro Stories because they are fast-growing and very creative with dynamic platforms spanning content, adtech, influencer marketing, and their new Nuestro Studios.

The founder of Nuestro Stories is a third-generation Mexican-American and her husband is a second- generation Cuban-American.

Nuestro Stories is excited to join the New Media Ventures family because they are committed to their vision of telling accurate stories about Latino people.

Hispanicize, DiMe Media, Hispanic Kitchen, Latina Moms, Hispanic PR Wire, Hispanic Digital Network, and LatinClips were all created and later sold by the founders.

As innovative as the previous ventures, we see an even greater and more impact for Nuestro Stories.

NMV was founded 12 years ago and is a movement-building impact fund that has been catalyzing capital to invest in what they see as the most promising leaders.

NMV has invested more than $60 million in 125 early-stage companies and startup since it was founded, with the company highlighting Blavity, Crowd Tangle and Eko as some of its most notable investments.

The flagship brand of Brilla Media is dedicated to celebrating Latino heritage in the United States.

Nuestro Stories produces daily videos, stories and social media content that focuses on Latino origins and stories and, through its recent Nuestros Studios, also creates or co-produced branded films, documentaries, series and podcasts.

The investment will empower stories to be told, and studio platforms to be born that will open new doors for content creators.
