From Invisible to Investable: Why the Best Founders Are Hiding in Plain Sight

The startup world loves to fund the loudest voices—but the most resilient, world-changing founders are often hidden in plain sight. These underestimated entrepreneurs—women, rural innovators, and non-English speakers—are quietly building the most urgent solutions in care, healthcare, and community well-being. It’s time to shift the spotlight.

Join Tech Ranch and Mayra Hurtado, Co-Founder & CEO of Prelude Health, for From Invisible to Investable: Why the Best Founders Are Hiding in Plain Sight on September 18th at 11 AM CST.

• Practical models for supporting and investing in care-driven entrepreneurs.
• A real-world story of how Mayra built a breakthrough women’s health startup that investors initially ignored—until traction made it undeniable.
