Understanding the Venture Capital Gender Gap

Jenny Lefcourt, partner at Freestyle VC and cofounder of All Raise,
says that even as a serial entrepreneur herself, she long
underestimated how little venture capital funding goes to female
startup founders compared to the money men get. She believes
unconscious biases, an industry built on intuition, and historical
dynamics all contribute to this inequity. They also affect the low
numbers of women in decision-making roles at VC firms. Lefcourt
explains the ways the industry can actively reduce this gap.
