This just in: VC activity declined fr all-time highs in 2021. Still, female founders in 2022 are proving resilient in the face of a much more challenging and volatile market, according to our @PitchBook-BTB Female Founders in the U.S. VC Ecosystem report. ow.ly/JYPF50Lv5rj

Brava, Anne, for this post. As partners of Pitchbook’s report, we at @beyondbillion want to add that this awful fact is despite women continuing to outperform per dollar invested with earlier exits and higher valuations. #investinwomen #drivereturnsthroughdiversity #createalpha

📉 #WomenFounders are still considered a high-risk investment: in 2022, all-women US startups received 2,4% less #Funding than what they raised in 2021. We don’t need a man in the room to be trusted! It’s our job to showcase how valuable we are *Source: Pitchbook via TechCrunch

2/I'm often asked: where do we see women faring well in? Is it beauty and fashion?
We see women innovating across the board, with notable scale in everything from drone technology to data/AI/ML!
Notably in SEA: E-commerce Fintech take up the lion share.

132 years.
That’s the amount of time @wef predicts we will need before we close the gender gap.
We don’t have time to wait to invest in women-led innovation; because we need ALL our talents focused on the biggest challenges ahead of us including the climate crisis. H/T to my co-founder @shellyporges on keeping us focused on women driving & finding climate tech we need!

"We are met with harsh lines of questioning that assume our business will fail or even dismiss our success. In one case, we were told that our traction growing from $0 to >$1M ARR in a year was lucky. Obviously, it takes a lot more than luck!" @symba_io

We could not agree more Symba! Women are so often told they're "lucky" and belittled in so many ways, including being told their startups are "cute" or "good projects". And yet, women continue to outperform and deliver.
