For Investors

As an Investor, you are probably looking for a differentiated deal-flow. We want to help with that. The LGBTQ+ community is diverse by its very nature and our Access to Capital team works diligently to send our Investor Partners curated deal flow from our LGBTQ+ Founders who are actively fundraising.

Reach out to our Access to Capital Program to get onboarded as a StartOut investor.

Investor Portal

Among other things, we support LGBTQ+ founders by connecting them with investors (VCs and angels) through our investor portal. It is a free online tool available to accredited investors interested in looking at deal-flow opportunities within our community. We currently work with 400+ VCs and angels. Once signed up, you’ll gain access to our Community Resources where you can sign up for upcoming Investor-exclusive events, demo days, and more!

Our Investor Portal is Sponsored By

"StartOut's investor portal and investor services have been great resources. The team sends us curated dealflow opportunities each month which are then backed up by in-depth information about each venture on the StartOut investor portal. Through these introductions and with the volume of referrals into our pipeline, StartOut has quickly become a strong and value-add partner for Colorful Capital."

"Being a part of StartOut’s Investor Portal has been wonderful for connecting with businesses about their funding needs. The thoughtful direct introductions to founders, as well as the monthly investors update has helped advance our mission to fund the underfunded. Couldn’t be more thrilled."
