– Receive less than 10% of venture capital funding
– Make up only 18% of all start-up founders
– Run only 4% of Fortune 500 companies

YET, research shows gender diverse companies are 15% more likely to outperform their peers and companies with more women on their board are more successful. On February 10th, join us for the screening of ‘Go Against the Flow ‘ with a post documentary roundtable discussion with Boston female entrepreneurs to discuss the role Boston and its entrepreneurs have to play in changing these.”
