About Gaingels

Gaingels is an LGBTQIA+/Allies private investment syndicate, and one of the largest and most active private investors dedicated to supporting diversity and inclusion within the venture capital ecosystem. We are amongst the most active LGBTQIA+/Allies venture investors in the world, but represent an otherwise extremely diverse group of investors and check writers from many backgrounds, and we particularly seek to promote diversity and inclusion at our portfolio companies through direct and network support. We invest in institutional venture-led rounds in all sectors, and at all stages of growth, from pre-seed/seed to pre-IPO. We partner and co-invest with top-tier VC firms, accelerators, and strategic investors in companies with diverse (including LGBTQ+) representation in leadership, board of directors, and/or advisory board, as well as in companies that recognize the value and importance of building diverse and inclusive teams and look to Gaingels as a partner in doing so.
