The venture capital world is dominated by men.
Female founders still get a fraction of the deals made, and dollars spent, despite making steady strides over the past decade. And it's no coincidence that women still only make up about 15% of all general partners at VC firms around the country.
There's room for optimism though, according to a new report from Pitchbook.
While the pandemic hit startups with female founders harder than all-male teams, women began outpacing national trends at the end of 2020 and are already shattering records this year, according to Pitchbook's third annual report on female founders.
