Investment thesis
Identity.vc backs early-stage, post-product startups across Europe that have LGBTQ+ leadership on the founder or C-suite level. The firm believes diverse teams innovate more effectively and achieve stronger financial results, and aims to extend the LGBTQ+ community's history of reshaping creative industries into all business sectors. It positions itself as a hands-on partner offering mentorship rooted in the shared experience of being LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, removes the need for warm introductions, and supports founders through community initiatives such as the League of Unicorns network and a Scout Program.
