As a former co-chair of Venture Out, I'm 100% in support of the team. VO was started and run with the goal of building a more inclusive tech ecosystem for the LGBTQA+ community and to create a space where marginalized folks could feel safe and see themselves represented.

I am proud to know and stand with this team. The heart behind their work is unparalleled, their stewardship of VO values always resolute, and their leadership through our resignation thoughtful and admirable. Thank you for everything💜so much love. rb betakit.com/venture-out-te…

We founded Venture Out with the mission of building a more equitable LGBTQ2IA+ community in tech – and we support the team as they lead our community forward in living those principles. Get updates at ventureousted.com betakit.com/venture-out-te…
