The data show it: diverse companies do better

When it comes to female representation a link to returns is provable

After 4 rounds of VC, I ran my own data analysis to see if my experience is unique. Women founders in female-focused sectors raise equitable VC, but women in non-female sectors raise 54% less than their fair share. In deep-tech, women raise up to 75% less! industrialfelt.com/women-lea…
