About
Lorenzo Thione combines an unusual background as a Tony Award-winning Broadway producer with deep AI operating experience from founding and exiting Powerset to Microsoft in 2008, which he uses to help founders with both storytelling and technical strategy. As an operator-investor-activist at Gaingels, he builds what he calls a flywheel of queer economic empowerment by backing LGBTQ+ founders and positioning diversity as a source of better returns rather than just a values initiative.
