Lavender Fund backs LGBTQ+ founders and business owners in New York — first checks, honest counsel, and a network that shows up. Capital for chosen family.
Most companies start with a friends-and-family round. Many queer founders can't — coming out has a way of shrinking the family balance sheet. So the community's businesses start later, smaller, and underfunded, despite outperforming when they're backed. We exist to be that first call: the chosen-family round, plus the counsel that usually comes with it.
First checks into LGBTQ+ founded companies with real revenue paths. Patient capital, meaningful ownership, and no need to translate yourself in the pitch.
The bars, venues, studios, and shops that anchor queer New York deserve better than closing notices. We work with owners on growth, real estate strategy, and succession.
A small, concentrated portfolio. Every company gets partner-level attention — that's the model, not a slogan.
Dinners, intros, and working sessions connecting queer founders, operators, and investors across the city. If you build, you belong here — funded by us or not.
Whether you're a founder looking for a first check, a business owner exploring advisory, or an investor who wants in — reach a partner directly. Every email is read, and you'll hear back.
