During Pride Month, LinkedIn's SF offices welcomed StartOut, a nonprofit supporting LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, to hold their 5th Annual Equity Summit! Over 100 LGBTQ+ founders, support organizations and allies joined the hybrid event aimed to educate, uplift and connect the community. Startup and business leaders also joined StartOut to bring this event to life. With sessions that covered innovative funding strategies, legal and marketing insights and the power of authenticity in entrepreneurship, attendees were given an array of tools and perspectives to apply to their own endeavors!
