Closing the Gender Investment Gap
Recognizing the potential of gender diversity on business performance and the existing gender investment gap (hello, less than three percent of venture money funds female founders), we feel that investors need to:
• Measure and report gender data
• Diversify their investment teams
• Implement bias training
• Create initiatives to support women entrepreneurs
By helping to close the gender investment gap, VCs can help unlock untapped potential, foster innovation and contribute to job creation and economic growth.
There are currently bills pending addressing the investment gender gap in both California and Massachusetts. What can we as female founders do to support these kinds of initiatives? Join us to find out.
