Resources for Black History Month
Black Folks, and especially 2SLGBTQIA+ Black people, are underrepresented in tech. It’s our responsibility to honour this truth by deepening our understanding of anti-Black racism, identifying it within our own systems, and committing to sustained action every month of the year.
We, at Gradient Spaces believe in the need for intersectionality and acknowledgement of the different ways our Queer identity interacts with our other identities.
Why Are We Building the Founder Program?
According to VC firm Backstage Capital, less than 1% of venture capital deals go to 2SLGBTQIA+ founders.
There’s an apparent lack of equity in the fundraising ecosystem, meaning that not all of the best ideas can actually grow into world-changing companies.
That’s why Gradient Spaces partnered with Georgian, a leading venture capital firm based in Toronto, to launch our 2022 Founder Program, Canada's first equity-free accelerator for 2SLGBTQIA+ & underestimated founders.
Venture Ousted: Why we left our parent organization
Tech is broken. Queer communities are broken. And, it’s all worth fighting for.
