Explaining the venture capital gender gap from @gracebeverley
The creator responds to a clip about the richest women's sources of wealth by presenting a detailed argument about the gender funding gap in venture capital. She states that only 2% of VC funding goes to female founders and explains how this systemic issue affects everyone, as most products are created with venture funding. She contrasts how the richest men build wealth through VC-backed companies, shares a personal anecdote about how adding her as a female co-founder reduced funding chances by 81.5%, and presents data showing that women-founded companies are more equitable and profitable, concluding that this funding gap results in a world built for and by men.
