    Pierre Gaubert, myGwork: Who Pays for a Queer Jobs Platform?

    When Pierre Gaubert came out, his mum warned him it would be very difficult to get a job in France. He went on to co-found myGwork with his twin brother, and last year 11 million people came to it looking for work. In this episode, Pierre explains who really pays for a queer jobs platform (95% of myGwork's revenue comes from memberships companies buy to post jobs and build their employer brand), how to tell an inclusive employer from one that is pinkwashing, why myGwork never asks users their sexual orientation, how a "quite straight" VC came to back a queer startup, and why he thinks mentalities in India are changing faster than in the US. Queer Built is a series from QueerEcon.org about the people who build businesses, apps and platforms for queer people, and the economics of why those things work, or don't.
