Hey there, I’m looking for advice on how to access Angel Investors for a niche space: LGBT Prosthetics

The market is very large with 9.7 million adults in the US alone with approximately 3.7 trilllion in purchasing power.

This product space is seemingly untouched for a needed product.

To give an idea, a TikTok I posted received well over 2500 likes and 184 shares in support in under 5 hours.

Looking forward to connecting.

What about prosthetics are unique to LGBTQ?
Just curious 🤔

For the trans community, it’s referred to as a packer. An artificial appendage, usually made from silicone.

Products exist, but they are created and manufactured by the large adult companies and the problem I’m solving for is to make them safer, more affordable, and less inappropriately designed(overly sized etc).

Hi Tori,
I’m Looking forward to our private conversation to enable us throw more light on your project.

9.7 million what adults? Quick Google says 2.1 million adults with limb loss total in the US, 1.7 million using prosthetics; LGBTQ accounts for 7% of the US population, at the high end that’s 147,000 customers if you somehow capture the market 100%.

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Would it be hard for me to come back to the VC industry with this experience? Why or why not? Thank you so much for your time and help!
