Today I am joined by Carolina Acosta. Carolina Acosta is the founder and CEO of Tragos, the party game for Latinos by Latinos. She spearheads the Tragos product development and partnership initiatives, while wearing many other hats alongside her all-female and Latinx remote team.

After working with her partner, John Lim, to launch Azn Flush – the Asian card game equivalent to Tragos – Carolina launched Tragos in 2019 to build a product that spoke to her own interests and her identity as a US-born Latina. Tragos has become a national brand and voice that aims to empower Latinos in the US through fun games and impact initiatives for housing, education, and entrepreneurship, raising about $20K in donations to date. Carolina has a BFA in Communication Design from Parsons, The New School and was recently included in Forbes 30 Under 30 class of 2021 for the creation of Tragos.
