The world is a big place, and companies wishing to invest have many domestic and foreign options. For example, 1,806 U.S.-based companies invested in Germany in some way in 2021, almost matching the pre-pandemic total. One way we can truly diversify is to pursue opportunities both at home and abroad. Excluding sources of investments may alter the way a startup builds and shapes its culture.

Do you want to run an “easy” startup? Be a coder, and realize that some aspect of your workflow is needlessly complicated. Create a tool to fix that, and spin it out as a dev-tools company. Get your first 100 customers from all of your friends, then raise $5 million to sell it to everyone else, and eventually, GitHub or Salesforce gets bored of paying you to use the tools and buys the whole company instead.

All that exists is a report from Backstage Capital saying 1% of all venture funds went to founders openly identifying as LGBTQ+. (According to a recent Gallup poll , 7.1% of Americans identify as LGBT+.). That’s a staggeringly low amount of funding, although not surprising when considering how homophobia and transphobia could easily slip in and prevent investors from giving money to those they don’t support or understand
