| StartOut tallies the unrealized potential of LGBTQ entrepreneurs | |  | San Francisco has accounted for nearly 80% of the total US funding for LGBTQ entrepreneurs over the last 20 years.
(xavierarnau/Getty Images) | | | When investors choose where to put their money, they often use data as their guide. But that data doesn't always exist, especially when it comes to LGBTQ entrepreneurs.
The StartOut Pride Economic Impact Index, a newly launched platform that quantifies the untapped opportunity in US-based LGBTQ entrepreneurs, hopes to change that: | | | | | | | | | | Dealmaking, exit activity both slumped for European PE in Q2 | | After an early onslaught of cases, the coronavirus crisis appears to be receding in many European countries. That's welcome news for the region's private equity industry. The pandemic helped drive private equity deal volume in Europe to a seven-year low during the second quarter of the year, and exit value is on pace for its lowest annual total in six years.
PitchBook's Q2 2020 European PE Breakdown examines the data behind those trends and many more, offering a full picture of how the pandemic has shaped the region's dealmaking scene. Other key takeaways include: - Private equity deal flow declined 31.5% in Q2 on a year-over-year basis
- Firms are raising fewer European private equity funds in 2020 than ever before
