We are so excited to share that our very own co-founders, Fran Dunaway (she/her) & Naomi Gonzalez, will be receiving the #Advocate Award at the LGBTQ+ entrepreneurial event of the year - the 12th Annual StartOut Awards! ?? StartOut, the champion for queer founders and #startup leaders, will host its annual gala in New York City on October 12th and welcomes you to celebrate in person. This year, the event will recognize and honor industry icons for their outstanding representation of the LGBTQ+ community and culminate a year of economic innovation. Join us for an unforgettable night of networking and celebration! The night’s theme 'Building Entrepreneurship. Building Equality.,’ embodies a vision of forging equality through entrepreneurship. We believe that creating a pathway to true equality begins with economic empowerment. Entrepreneurship paves the way to lived equality through economic opportunity for individual founders and, at scale, economic justice for the community at large. We firmly believe that entrepreneurship leads to equality. True equality thrives on economic security and opportunity, best found through entrepreneurship. Generously sponsored by Chase, The Coca-Cola Company, Comcast NBCUniversal, Ogilvy, and Silicon Valley Bank, A Division of First Citizens Bank. ??
