Bossygrl Is Helping Female Entrepreneurs Reach Their Goals
When it comes to venture capital and start-up culture, there is a huge gender gap. According to Pitchbook, in 2016 VCs invested $58.2 billion in companies with all-male founding teams. That number is significantly hiring than the amount of VC dollars that went toward all-female founded teams. The ladies received just $1.46 billion. When it came to the number of companies financed, 5,839 male-founded companies made the cut versus the just 359 female-founded firms.
