TechCrunch: "The First Comprehensive Study on Women in Venture Capital and Their Impact on Female Founders"
The CrunchBase Women in Venture report is the third study in our ongoing analysis of women and their participation in the startup ecosystem.
Previously we reported on the steady increase in the number of women founders and the universities that produce them. In this study, we looked at two new questions.
First, we set out to determine how many women are true investing partners at the leading venture and micro-venture firms. While everyone knows that the number of female investing partners is very limited, we aimed to establish a well-defined baseline against which to measure future progress.
