💸 As of 2023, only 3% of women founders in tech(as compared to 82% of men) raised VC funds. 

I knew this had more to do than just the number of women entrepreneurs. Here are a few things I discovered:

▶ The % women raising capital has not gone above 3% since 2019.

▶ European VC space is male-dominated with only 16% GPs + a huge gap in the carried interest women VCs receive. 

▶ For female founders, fundraising only from female VCs comes at a cost.

▶ Though 65% of VCs indicate that having a diversity & inclusion strategy influences decisions, this is not reflected in female or mixed-gender-led startups, which still represent >11% of total VC investments.
