The reason VCs don’t fund women: they make a choice not to fund women.
It is truly that fucking simple.
We run the same panels every year talking about this like it’s a complicated problem.
“Maybe it’s
-Social standards
-Lack of daycare infrastructure
-Confidence
-Education”
Nope. The truth is ugly.
VCs make a choice, over and over and over again to give another million bucks to another 4 dudes with another productivity startup and then blame anything except their own decisions.
