queer VC

In the summer of 2023, sitting at a table of women investors having dinner, when I realized how amazing it was to have this group of women I could connect with. But there was this other aspect of my life that wasn't engaged at all in my investing career.

I looked around my investor network, and on a single hand could count the amount of LGBTQ+ (Queer for simplicity) investors I knew. Were there not that many? I honestly didn't know. I myself wasn't publically talking that much about my sexuality and have been in a relationship with a man my entire investing career, so there were a lot of assumptions that I was straight.

So I started asking everyone I knew, with an email that said "Hey, I'm queer. Are you? If yes, do you want to grab dinner?"

And that was how QueerVC was born, a network of 70+ queer investors across the US with chapters in 5 cities to date (SF, NYC, Chicago, LA, Austin).
