In the fast-paced world of startups and entrepreneurship, diversity and inclusivity are no longer just buzzwords; they are key factors that drive innovation and success.

These days, we’re well versed in the concept of company culture. And while pool or ping-pong tables, fridges stocked full of snacks or hammocks in meeting rooms might have held sway pre-pandemic when the workplace was confined to an office building, in recent years company values, standards and beliefs are being brought into sharper focus as the barometer of what it’s really like to work at an organisation.

Working for close to a decade at the intersection of my three favourite words; innovation, investment, and intersectionality, has shown me how beautifully complex they are. Don’t get me wrong, there’s lots of hot air - but it’s pretty clear that if you care about investing with a long-term view, and want to make an impact & consider every letter and sub-category of the overused E to the S to the G, then you need intersectionality. Look at this through a Queer lens too, and you’re winning.

We often hear words of leadership wisdom espoused by well-known male business leaders.

But what about the female entrepreneurs and executives who have also achieved phenomenal success?
