David Beatty co-founded Gaingels as one of the earliest and largest LGBTQ+-focused angel investing networks, building it from a small circle into a global syndicate that co-invests exclusively in already venture-backed rounds with dozens of investments per month. He systematically brings underrepresented check writers onto cap tables and into venture syndicates, focusing not just on backing diverse founders but also diversifying who benefits financially from outcomes.
