Changing the Entrepreneurship narrative

We all know the numbers and they are dismal: Even though female
founders received a record $3.54 billion in funding in 2019, this
represented only 2.7% of the total venture capital investments,
according to PitchBook data. As a point of comparison, WeWork
garnered more investment than all global female founders combined
last year. If not for irony, then for the despair of the missed
opportunity.  


Is it possible to change this narrative? Is there a more
equitable way of dispersing capital? Victoria Fram of Village
Capital certainly thinks so. Among their portfolio companies that
span 28 countries, 46% are founded by women; 30% are black or
Latinx. For those of us working within the innovation economy, we
have a responsibility to make entrepreneurship more inclusive, by
extending opportunities to diverse minds and talents in all
corners of the society, regardless of their age, ethnicity,
backgrounds, and gender.


Tune in for an aspirational podcast episode of One Vision with
Victoria Fram, Founding fund manager of VilCap Investments and
co-founder of Village Capital.
