Gunderson Dettmer Commemorates 2025 Pride Month - The Fabric of Freedom

The firm is proud to commemorate Pride Month in June 2025. This year, we celebrate our colleagues, clients, and partners of all sexual orientations and gender identities, along with our allies, by providing resources and events to our firm, clients, and the broader venture capital industry.

We proudly embrace this year’s Pride Month theme: “The Fabric of Freedom.” This theme highlights the power of unity, resilience, and advocacy in advancing equality and celebrating the rich diversity of our community. In this spirit, we encourage everyone to stand together in supporting love, acceptance, and equality for everyone.

Reflection

During this Pride Month, the ‘Fabric of Freedom’ is more than our rights as individuals but rather it is about our collective resilience and advocacy. Pride Month serves as a reminder that we should ensure that freedom reaches every inch of the fabric of our society. For me, this means that I will stand and partner with marginalized communities and help create a future where freedom and process is a right for all.
—Michael Hui, GD Pride Affinity Group Convener
