In this episode, we break down why investing in BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented founders isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s smart business. We discuss the real, often overlooked, financial opportunities tied to investing in these communities, the statistics behind the funding gap, and why businesses led by diverse teams have the potential to outperform in the market. Businesses led by inclusive teams aren’t just good for society, they’re good for the bottom line. Join Gayle Jennings-O'Byrne as she goes off the record with Jackson Block, CEO of LGBT+ VC. Jackson is leading initiatives to close the gap for LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, while working to educate and engage new generations of investors in the process. Our conversation highlights the critical importance of allyship in investment spaces and tackles the complex intersections of race, gender, and identity in entrepreneurship. Tune in for a candid conversation on how inclusive investing can drive both change and profits.
