Venture Capital by Jackson J. Block — Out Now. Get Your Copy Today.

After years of building, investing, and innovation, I’m proud to announce the release of my book: Venture Capital, which I shared at the New York Stock Exchange this week.

This book tells a story we don’t hear enough in boardrooms and on bookshelves — how capital, the LGBTQIA+ community, and conviction come together to shape technology, markets and movements. From Netflix to the New York Stock Exchange. From Stonewall to Silicon Valley. From Pride to prosperity. The book showcases the story of LGBT+ VC, and the untold history of LGBTQ+ venture capital™ from its earliest days.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A textbook for LGBTQ+ venture capital and business from pre-Stonewall to today, including some of my favorite stories from LGBT+ VC and our partners

• Investment frameworks for building and backing startups and funds

• Founder & investor stories break the binaries of health tech & fintech

• A vision for LGBTQ+ economic freedom, innovation, and power

This is for the builders who won’t wait for permission. This is for the rebels & everyday dreamers. And for everyone who believes venture capital is vehicle for generational wealth, work, and wins.

A brief sneak peek inside:

• 📺 Launching at Netflix: The Night We Became Inevitable

• 🪩 The Glitter and the Gold: How Lady Gaga and Venture Capital Rewrote the Beauty Playbook

• 🏛️ The Room Where It Happened: Bringing the LGBTQ+ Economic Bill of Rights to the White House

• 🎭 The Royal Economy: Drag Tech, Digital Crowns, and Investing in Culture

Thank you to the many leaders, mentors, and my co-creators who shaped this story. I wrote this book for you — and for the next generation of innovators and investors who will go even further.
