Brava, Anne, for this post. As partners of Pitchbook’s report, we at @beyondbillion want to add that this awful fact is despite women continuing to outperform per dollar invested with earlier exits and higher valuations. #investinwomen #drivereturnsthroughdiversity #createalpha
📉 #WomenFounders are still considered a high-risk investment: in 2022, all-women US startups received 2,4% less #Funding than what they raised in 2021. We don’t need a man in the room to be trusted! It’s our job to showcase how valuable we are *Source: Pitchbook via TechCrunch

2/I'm often asked: where do we see women faring well in? Is it beauty and fashion?
We see women innovating across the board, with notable scale in everything from drone technology to data/AI/ML!
Notably in SEA: E-commerce + Fintech take up the lion share.

132 years.
That’s the amount of time @wef predicts we will need before we close the gender gap.
We don’t have time to wait to invest in women-led innovation; because we need ALL our talents focused on the biggest challenges ahead of us including the climate crisis. H/T to my co-founder @shellyporges on keeping us focused on women driving & finding climate tech we need!

At @beyondbillion our partner VC funds are pledged to invest in female-founded cos, many focused on climate solutions. VCs like @CycleCapitalVC @Demeter @Portfolia1 @AmplifyVC @GobiPartners @blackbirdvc @AruwaCapital @SDGoals @COP27P @artesianvc @ecofuelofficial @rethinkimpact
We talk so much about climate’s impact on women. But what impact can women have on climate? Women start asking the questions about where products come from. And so much more. @AnnMCairns @Mastercard

Since Sep 2020, 27 new Black and Latinx women founders have raised more than $1 million in funding. Meet some of them below.👇🏿
Black female founders in the US face many challenges, but one of the biggest is the lack of funding.
Meet some of the Black women who've raised $1 million or more in VC funding in 2021. 👇
