What Presente does

Presente is a Peruvian non-governmental organization (NGO) operating from Lima that promotes workplace inclusion, sustainability, and economic development for the LGBTIQ+ community. Founded around 2018 (the organization self-describes as having "more than 5 years of experience" as of 2023), Presente has built a multi-product portfolio that includes Certificación Presente (an annual company certification program assessing LGBTIQ+ workplace inclusion across five dimensions), Trabajo Presente (a job board and talent network connecting LGBTIQ+ professionals with inclusive employers), Sello Pride (a recognition seal for inclusive organizations), Summit Presente (an annual DEI conference first held in 2023 with editions through 2026), Futuro Presente (a school-based anti-bullying and safe-space educational program), Casa Trans de Lima Este (a community support and housing project for trans women), Microlearning Presente (a self-serve e-learning portal), Emprende Presente (an entrepreneurship program), and the Partner Presente individual membership program priced at S/360 annually. Presente has engaged with more than 70 companies and organizations at the regional level, including enterprise clients such as Scotiabank, SAP, Falabella, BBVA, PwC Peru, Interbank, Cencosud, Sodimac, Ripley, Teleperformance, and Konecta.

The organization operates without proprietary technology platforms, relying instead on web-based learning management systems, the Trexa-hosted microlearning portal, Mercado Pago payment processing, and direct enterprise field sales. Its revenue model combines subscription/recurring streams (Certificación Presente fees, Partner Presente memberships at S/360/year, Microlearning subscriptions) with transaction-based revenue from the Summit Presente conference (ticket sales, sponsorships, exhibitor fees) and project grants. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales targeting HR departments and DEI committees for certification and training contracts, an event-driven funnel through the Summit, and community-led grassroots engagement via the Futuro Presente educational program and Casa Trans community projects. Marketing channels span a multi-category blog, organic social media across Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn/Twitter, a monthly email newsletter, volunteer recruitment, and a partner referral network. Leadership is anchored by founder and board president Gabriel de la Cruz and Executive Director Pía Bravo Arenas (a psychologist and recognized LGBTIQ+ Top Voice named among Forbes Peru's 50 most powerful women), supported by a board of directors including Pamela Vallejos Chavez (Communications Director), Sato Tamashiro, Josue Parodi, and Renato Velasquez Palaez. Presente is independently operated with no parent company, no disclosed external institutional investors, and no identified funding rounds in the source materials.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Open For Business: Global coalition producing research and corporate-advocacy tools on LGBTIQ+ economic inclusion. Comparable as a thought-leadership and corporate-engagement layer that complements or competes with Presente's content-driven approach.
• Workplace Pride (Netherlands): Dutch foundation running LGBTIQ+ workplace inclusion programs, including a Global Benchmark comparable to Presente's Certificación Presente. Useful as a structural model for how an NGO can scale employer certifications internationally.
• Pride Connection: International network founded by KPMG for LGBTIQ+ workplace inclusion across multiple countries including LatAm. Directly comparable as an employer-network model targeting corporate certification and best-practice sharing.
• LGBT+ Capital: Advisory and research firm focused on LGBTIQ+ inclusion economics and corporate strategy. Comparable in its employer-facing DEI consulting lens, though more commercially oriented than Presente's NGO model.

Regional players

• Fundación Huésped: Argentine NGO working on LGBTIQ+ rights, sexual health, and workplace inclusion across Latin America. Comparable in NGO-led approach to combining community programming (like Casa Trans) with corporate DEI engagement.
• Instituto Brasileiro Trans de Educação (IBTE): Brazilian organization supporting trans inclusion through education and economic empowerment. Comparable in its trans-focused Casa Trans-style programming and educational mission within the broader LatAm context.
• Fundación Iguales: Chilean LGBTIQ+ rights organization running workplace inclusion, education, and advocacy programs. Closely comparable to Presente in mission and product mix, but operating in Chile with a different policy environment.

Direct peers

• Out & Equal Workplace Advocates: Out & Equal runs the world's largest LGBTIQ+ workplace summit and partners with employers on DEI consulting. Presente has explicitly participated in its Summit (2021) and operates a structurally similar employer-focused DEI ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Human Rights Campaign (HRC) / HRC Equidad MX: HRC operates the Corporate Equality Index, the largest LGBTIQ+ workplace certification program in the US, and runs HRC Equidad in Mexico. It is the closest global analog to Presente's Certificación Presente, though with significantly broader scope and resources.
• RIASE (Rede Ibero-Americana de Empresas LGBTI+): Ibero-American network of LGBTIQ+ inclusive companies spanning Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. Comparable as a corporate LGBTIQ+ membership and benchmarking network operating in Presente's regional footprint.
