Hi!

Not long ago, Harvard did a detailed study of how venture capitalists interacted with male and female founders. The research team observed (and recorded) Q&A interactions between 140 prominent venture capitalists (40% of them female) and 189 entrepreneurs (12% female) that took place at a startup funding competition.  The team then tracked all funding rounds of these teams that launched at the competition. The firms were comparable in terms of quality and needed capital, but they raised vastly different amounts of funding over time.  The report stated, "Male-led startups in our sample raised five times more funding than female-led ones."
