More women entrepreneurs are gaining access to venture capital, but a wide gender gap persists, according to a new study released Tuesday from Babson College. According to the study, the amount of early-stage investment in companies with a woman on the executive team has tripled to 15 percent from 5 percent in the last 15 years. Despite this, 85 percent of all venture capital-funded businesses have no women on the executive team and only 2.7 percent of venture capital-funded companies had a woman as a CEO, according to the study.
