Just 0.5% of $2.1 trillion in startup funding between 2020 and 2022 was raised by LGBTQ+ founders.
7.2% of the U.S. population identifies as a member of the community.
85% of funding is accumulated in only five metro areas: San Francisco , New York , Los Angeles , Denver and Austin .
Stokes said 75% of founders go back "into the closet" while fundraising on concern that being part of the community would taint their brand.
Richardson hopes the attention will lead to broader support for organizations like Chasing Rainbows .
Both Stokes and Richardson were invited to the White House this past week to participate in a roundtable discussion.
