This is Our Brick
The two of us did not set out to make our mark as VCs. In fact, we came to this path as a result of our shared belief in systems-level change.
Countless members of the LGBTQ+ community face systemic obstacles and significant differences that place them at an economic disadvantage. In several areas, including employment, inheritance, homeownership, and retirement, LGBTQ+ people are consistently at a relative disadvantage despite having, on average, higher educational attainment than those outside our communities.
This work is bringing new meaning to “Pride” for both of us. As we reflect on the journey that brought us here, we take none of it for granted. We find inspiration in incredible entrepreneurs and, like Cook, we ground our purpose in knowing we have our own contributions to make across our LGBTQ+ community — contributions that will fuel the success of founders and the growth and scale of their ventures as they reach new heights.
