The 8 Percenters: Women Raising More Venture Cash Now Than During the Bubble
(Fast Company) — Eight percent ain’t great, but it’s better than nothing. That’s how much of the total pool of venture capital cash female founders raised during the first half of 2010, according to a study by CB Insights. And while the bigger numbers on the male side of the equation have dominated the coverage of the study, women’s numbers are up from 4.6% reported in 2000. The study differs from earlier examinations of the VC industry by focusing on so-called “human capital”–that is, who’s getting the funding.
