Our unique focus on the LGBTQ+ community will create a flywheel for our investors, our portfolio companies, and their employees, which will build generational wealth and legacy. The LGBTQ+ community receives less than .7% of VC funding, and many cannot raise from friends and family due to bigotry when they come out of the closet. This is despite the fact that LGBTQ+ founders bring tenacity and grit due to hardships they may have faced, resulting in incredible leaders, innovative ideas, and game-changing startups.
