⅓ of Queer Founders in the venture capital ecosystem don’t come out publicly until capital is raised. Chasing Rainbows seeks to provide these founders with both the capital and support they need. We wish to show them that success and Queerness are not mutually exclusive.
Happy National Coming Out Day! Chasing Rainbows shares our support with the LGBTQ+ people who are embarking on their coming out journey: congratulations! We also want to uplift and acknowledge the people who don’t have the option to come out due to safety or fear
