There is a special place in hell for women who don't support other women—a thread you can share with female entrepreneurs. 👇🏼
Before anyone gives me a lecture on how 'sexist' I'm going to sound next, my voice comes from personal experience, and I believe the gender gap in the entrepreneur world is real.
According to a Forbes article, male-only founders raised $195 billion in 2019, female-only founded companies raised just $6 billion. For those who are wondering, Female founders with a male cofounder were at a much higher advantage; They raised $20.9 billion in 2019.
To clarify, I'm not suggesting that it is "men's" world but suggesting that we need to open doors for them a little more. According to an article by UNESCO, Lack of information on opportunities is the reason for the gender gap.
So here I'm listing down top Female focused VC funds I know, International Grands, angel investors and VCs for Female entrepreneur.
