Co-Founder & COO of The Bow, the new home for high-quality queer content on a free, ad supported, video streaming platform.
A study done by StartOut found that LGBTQ+ founders created 36% more jobs, 114% more patents, and 44% more exits, despite raising 16% less funding compared to the average cis founder. I had the pleasure of interviewing the CEO of StartOut, Brian Richardson, in this week's episode and we dug into the data. In the United States alone, $2.1 trillion has been invested in startups over the last 20 years from Venture capital funding. Of that $2.1 trillion, only 0.5% has gone to openly LGBTQ+ founders. How are organizations like StartOut and Chasing Rainbows working to change that?
