Celebrate Pride Month with Exclusive Insights
We’re thrilled to present an exclusive first look at the upcoming LGBTQ+ Startup Report—the first EU-wide mapping of LGBTQ+ innovation in startups and venture capital.
This landmark report, set for release in June 2025, will unveil:
The untold scale, impact, and momentum of LGBTQ+ founders in Europe.
Insights into their strengths, challenges, and founder sentiment.
Real stories of LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs driving innovation across industries.
As attendees, you’ll be the very first to get insights from this groundbreaking data—a powerful way to kick off our evening with a clear look at why diversity drives innovation. Europe has a unique opportunity to lead on inclusive innovation by amplifying the voices of underrepresented founders and celebrating their contributions, especially as global DEI efforts face challenges.
Let’s kick off Pride Month with bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and meaningful connections—followed by open networking, pizza, and drinks to keep the energy going!
