Did you know?

Only around 1.7% of venture capital in Denmark is invested in all-women founding teams, and less than 8% in mixed-gender teams.

Investors allocate 1.3x more capital to all-men than all-women founding teams.

Average seed and series A-rounds are 52.5% smaller for all-women founding teams.

So what?

The consequence is lost talent, less innovation, slower growth, fewer jobs, and greater inequality. We can’t afford that.

Evidence from around the world consistently shows that startups with a female founder perform better than those founded by men. Examples:
