Queer-Owned Business Development

According to the LGBT Chamber of Commerce, LGBTQIA+ businesses contribute approximately 1.7 trillion dollars to the US economy each year. However, even LGBTQIA+ owned businesses are dominated by white, cisgendered members of our community with only about 2% being trans-owned and less than 20% owned by people of color. inQlusion inc. is committed to creating opportunities for every member of the LGBTQIA+ community to achieve their dreams of owning a business. We will accomplish this through Queer-Owned Business Expos that allow networking, seminars facilitated by queer business owners from our own community, and our Queer-Owned Business Spotlight Series.

We are now accepting applications for our Queer-Owned Business Spotlight Series for 2025!!

If you are a queer business owner that would like to be featured in our Queer-Owned Business Spotlight series, please complete the application at the link below. Please note that we are featuring a new business each quarter. If the demand is high enough we will consider featuring businesses bi-monthly (or monthly). Please allow two weeks for us to review your business application and send a response. We look forward to learning more about your business!
