Paul Grossinger is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Gaingels, a venture capital firm he launched in 2014 with David Beatty as the first investment network dedicated to backing LGBTQ+ founders. Initially an angel group, Gaingels transitioned into a venture firm in January 2018 and now manages over $900 million in assets across 1,500+ companies. His investment thesis targets early-stage ventures from pre-seed to Series A, spanning sectors like enterprise software, health IT, biotech, and consumer internet, with a focus on diverse leadership rather than strict geographic limits. Grossinger typically invests check sizes between $200,000 and $500,000, often participating as a follow investor within syndicates rather than leading rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Ro, Thirty Madison, Databricks, and Turing, with Gaingels backing 75+ unicorns to date. A distinctive point of view for Grossinger is his public advocacy for LGBTQ+ inclusion in startups, complemented by regular writing for Inc.com and speaking at events like Slush and International CES.
