Fun Fact: Female investors are three times more likely to invest in female founders, according to PitchBook News. However, the lack of women in the VC market has a direct impact on funding levels for founders. This is where female investors can make a difference. They not only offer capital but also mentorship, networking opportunities, and a more inclusive community where female entrepreneurs can thrive. PitchBook's recent report on the European all-in female founders in the VC ecosystem sheds light on this topic. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/d65PdQmy. In Australia, it's even more challenging.
