The percentage of female decision-makers at U.S. venture capital firms continues to climb, albeit slowly, according to a new Axios analysis.
By the numbers: 243 of 1,716 decision-makers are women, or nearly 14.2%. Past marks were 12.4% (2020), 9.7% (2019), 8.9% (2018), 7% (2017), and 5.7% (2016).
61% of the analyzed firms did not have any female decision-makers, which is similar to last year's figure. The percentage of firms with two or more female decision-makers rose from 9.7% to 11.6%, although it's 26.6% for firms that raised $1 billion or more between 2015 and 2020.
