Gaingels is the leading investment syndicate in support of diversity and representing the LGBTQ community and allies in the venture capital space. With over $240,000,000 deployed into a portfolio of over 500 companies since 2018, Gaingels is also the co-founder of Mathison.io and provides a diverse board member/observer recruitment advisory for our portfolio companies. Gaingels invests in companies with or without LGBT founders/C-suite leaders as early as venture-backed seed, so long as the company is interested in adding C-suite and board diverse leadership and sees value in Gaingels’ talent network and representing and including the LGBT community on their cap table. Gaingels’ 1300 strong investor network also includes 350 women, and 300 BIPOC members, and we seek to position our network as a talent pool for our portfolio companies on all axes of diversity. Gaingels is a founding co-signer of the Diversity Term Sheet Rider Initiative to increase access to venture funding events for non-traditional check writers, and regularly co-invests with select VC leads across a variety of sectors, from technology, to B2B, healthcare and consumer, in competitive and over-subscribed rounds from Seed to Growth/pre-IPO, with check sizes $100,000 – $10,000,000
