SEqueer isn’t trying to change the world, just the way you choose to spend money.
The Queensland start-up is offering the first-of-its-kind community inclusion search engine, and they’ve packed it with extras even your grandad will like.
Filter your search to support businesses that are owned by veterans, hire differently-abled staff, or members of the queer community.
SEqueer makes it simple to lift your social equality game without much effort. Little things help.
No politics, no activism, and no overt sexuality…the negatives often associated with locating an intersectional business.
Find queer-owned, queer-allied and queer-friendly businesses with so many extras. As a business owner, providing information about your sustainable practices – or even something as simple as your bathroom facilities – can really help a queer kid out.
The crowd-sourced directory promotes and supports queer-owned and allied, and LGBTQIA+ friendly businesses on an easy-to-use app (both Apple and Android) and online at sequeer.com.
Born from a desire to provide representation and safe spaces, SEqueer (pronounced See Queer) allows users to share their favourite businesses and award these companies identifying badges that introduce them to the world.
“I want to help people find businesses that are safe spaces. As a non-binary person who lives in a progressive city and country, people might assume that any business would welcome queer customers,” said James Makiol, Managing Partner at SEqueer.
“That is just not true; I don’t always know if a business will be safe for me. Sadly, some places I visited as a youth are no longer welcoming to me as a young adult navigating the world.”
Awarding badges to businesses helps create safe spaces for people of colour, people with disabilities, and of course the queer community. Badges also allow users to identify sustainable and ethical business practices.

Representation is important. We See You:
Free APP for users – crowd source platform for people to filter their search and locate businesses that align with their needs and preferences.
The app also allows patrons to acknowledge and be a part of informing the world and creating safe/welcoming environments for people across all business types.
WEBSITE for business users – provide a platform that advertises their ownership status, and information about the practical, social, and sustainable practices of their company. Large corporations and government entities in Australia who seek to spend with intersectional companies often find it difficult to locate intersectional business owners. SEqueer will help address this issue by providing procurement options, thus significantly helping business dollars make their way into the intersectional community.
