What Matters! - Taking Stock at the End of This Year’s Pride Month

At GIH we celebrate diversity and inclusion, it’s part of who we are and what we stand for. As such, much of our advocacy work includes bringing additional visibility to underrepresented founders through our social media, networks and advocacy work.

Special spotlight on 5 great Founders
​That’s why, as we are nearing the end of this year’s Pride Month, we’re happy to say we’ve featured another 5 inspiring founders from our InvestHer Directory, all whom are also a part of the LGBTQ+ community, in our Newsletter, across our Social Media channels and on our Blog:

• Leanne Pittsford (Lesbians Who Tech & Allies)
• Vivienne Ming (Socos Labs)
• Laura Clise (Intentionalist)
• Brandy Hoffman (Volition Beauty)
• Kelly Rakowski (Lex)

All five of these incredible founders help pave the way for other members of the LGBTQ+ community and we are proud to have them featured on our Directory.

Why Visibility Matters
Pride Month matters, current events in the world, such as the recent horrific incident in Oslo, prove that very fact. We all need to take a stand and defend values that protect the rights for each and every one of us to be who we are, love whom we choose and live the life we feel is right for us. We do that at Global Invest Her, as we have demonstrated this year and last, showcasing members of the LGBTQ+ community from our directory during the whole month of June.
​
Visibility matters, that’s why we will continue to work tirelessly to make sure we give as much of it as possible to those women entrepreneurs who are unfairly treated and judged based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or the like. We value difference, respect and integrity - these are not empty words for us. We truly care, and will continue to shine the spotlight on great women founders and funders as well as key allies who support them. We can and will do more in the future.
