Notable Investments
Identity.vc is Europe's first venture capital fund with an explicit mandate that every portfolio company must have LGBTQ+ representation at founder or C-level, investing €200k-€500k in early-stage startups across Europe and select North American markets. The fund operates with a "no warm intro" policy and runs community infrastructure including the League of Unicorns network for LGBTQ+ founders, positioning LGBTQ+ identity as their core investment lens rather than a side diversity initiative.
