Last fall, I set out to answer a question that had been on my mind for most of 2017:
In the venture capital world, do female-founded companies perform better than their male-founded counterparts?
The goal was to close out the year with a comprehensive post examining whether private companies founded by women have better financial prospects than those founded by men, using data points on everything from step-up valuations to follow-on fundings and separating them by industry. It would have been an ideal way to wrap up one of the major tech themes of 2017: women in VC. The topic was a constant presence in a year that included an explosive blog post from a former Uber engineer that contributed to Travis Kalanick's downfall, several male venture capital investors stepping down from positions of power after sexual harassment allegations, the Katrina Lake-led Stitch Fix IPO, and endless conversations and articles on getting serious about closing the gender-fueled funding gap.
In March of last year, I produced a datagraphic showing that while VCs were investing in female-led companies more often than they had been 10 years ago, the numbers were still low. In 2016, roughly 17% of VC deals were for companies with at least one female founder—and if I had used data for companies with solely female founders, that number would have been much lower.
In fact, PitchBook data shows that in 2017, just 2.2% of all venture capital in the US went to companies founded solely by women. The story is about the same when measured by deal count: Roughly 4.4% of VC transactions in the US last year were for female-founded companies. And the investor side isn't much more diverse: Just 11.3% of partners at VC firms in the US are female.
After writing much more about female founders and speaking with many prominent women in the VC world, including Aileen Lee and Hayley Barna, I decided to take the topic to the next level. My plan was to bolster findings from other publications with additional data points from the PitchBook Platform.
A look at my data-driven journey
First Round Capital reported in 2015 that the female-founded companies in its portfolio outperformed male-founded companies by 63%, as measured by returns for investors. In September 2017, Harvard Business Review published an article called "The Comprehensive Case for Investing More VC Money in Women-Led Startups," which reported a finding from the Small Business Association that venture firms that invested in female-led businesses saw an improvement in their fund's performance.
Those conclusions are encouraging for women in VC, but they don't provide information about whether more investors are actually backing more female-founded and female-led companies as the years go by. I figured PitchBook's data could supplement the findings of the articles mentioned above by providing a look at how female-founded companies in the US perform within the venture capital landscape.
Do they garner higher valuations? Higher exit rates? Higher percentages of follow-on funding?
Based on those previous reports, I thought our data would support the claim that it's smart for venture investors to back businesses founded by women. Part of my job is staying on top of tech trends, and one of the biggest stories in the last year has been the male-centric culture in Silicon Valley, and, as a corollary, the stunningly low percentage of venture capital invested in female-founded companies. So as a woman in the tech industry with a front-row seat to the disparity in funding for men and women, I really wanted our data to support that claim. I'd envisioned an in-depth article with a headline like "Female-founded companies are worth more than their male-founded counterparts."
But, as you may have noticed, that's not the headline of this post. I couldn't find evidence that female-founded companies perform better, at least not when measured with a VC yardstick. Companies with solely male founders, regardless of industry, receive more follow-on funding and have higher valuations, among other disappointing findings.
I'm frustrated I wasn't able to bring you the article of my dreams. But even though the conclusion isn't what I expected it to be, I'm going to share my efforts. Below is a look at the data I pulled, which demonstrates a dramatic difference between female-founded and male-founded companies when it comes to valuation, exit rate and follow-on funding.
Initially, I looked at valuation data for companies founded solely by women versus companies founded solely by men. I thought that if First Round Capital found that female-founded companies provided better returns, maybe they would also have higher valuations. So I compared valuation numbers for US VC deals from 2007 to 2017 for companies founded by women and those founded by men, and threw in mixed-gender founding teams for good measure.
What I wanted to find: A steady uptick in valuations and step-up valuations for female-founded companies over the last decade.
What I actually found: The median valuation for female-founded companies was lower in 2017 than it was in 2007. Meanwhile, the opposite holds true for male-founded companies. Companies founded solely by women have experienced a rise in step-up valuation over the last decade, but the increase is minimal.
Here's a closer look at the data:
Median post valuation for US VC deals by gender makeup of founders
Median step-up valuation for US VC deals by gender makeup of founders
At this point, I dove deeper into the data. Because the valuation data was showing that male-founded companies actually have higher post-valuations than those founded by women, I thought I'd take a look at other measurements that could indicate success with investors. I looked at the percentage of VC-backed companies that have received follow-on funding and the percentage that have exited, broken down by industry and separated by the gender of founders.
What I wanted to find: Even if female-founded companies were still less valuable than their male-founded counterparts, I hoped to find they had a better exit rate or a better chance of receiving follow-on funding. And even if that wasn't true for all industries, perhaps it would be true for some of them. At this point, I was envisioning a headline like "Female-founded companies in THIS industry are more likely to achieve big exits than their male-founded counterparts."
What I actually found: A higher percentage of VC-backed male-founded companies in every single industryreceived follow-on funding than female-founded companies. According to PitchBook data, companies with all male founders receive funding after their first round nearly 35% of the time. For companies with all female founders, that number is less than 2%.
There's a similar trend for exits. Male-founded startups are acquired more than 11% of the time, while less than 0.5% of female-founded startups reach the same milestone. (IPO numbers are very small for all groups, though the numbers are higher for all-male founding teams than all-female founding teams: 1.65% versus 0.06%.) Throw a dart at any industry—fintech, ecommerce, healthcare, the list goes on—and the numbers tell a similar story.
Percentage of US-based VC-backed companies that receive follow-on funding by gender makeup of founders, 2007-present
Percentage of US-based VC-backed companies that are acquired by gender makeup of founders, 2007-present
At this point, I considered writing a straightforward post about the findings, complete with data from every industry on valuation, exit rates and follow-on funding numbers, separated out by gender of founders. But I felt that would have been too repetitive, as the numbers are so similar across the board.
I still wanted to present the information, though. I think it's important to show that even though there are so many conversations about why it's important to back more female-founded companies, there's still a major VC funding gap—and when I say "VC funding gap," I'm including the discrepancy in valuation, follow-on funding and acquisitions between male- and female-founded companies.
Some of the numbers from earlier in this post bear repeating: Just 2% of all VC funding in the US goes to companies founded solely by women. Only 11% of partners at VC firms in the US are female. If the numbers are any indication, it's much more difficult to secure follow-on funding and receive acquisition offers if you're a woman. The tech world needs more female VC investors, more female-founded startups and more funding for women. Maybe more female VCs will lead to more funding for women, or maybe more funding for women will lead to more female-founded startups. Maybe both. I don't know exactly how the cycle is going to work, but one thing is clear: There's a lot of room for the numbers to go up.
There is reason for hope, both according to the numbers and anecdotally. The percentage of VC deals and capital that goes to female-founded companies has risen over the last decade, and female founders and investors are becoming more and more vocal about closing the gender gap as the years go on. But there's a lot of work to be done.

Love this story Geoff. *wipes tears* It's so difficult to watch the decline of those we love. Sorry for you're loss. And thanks for sharing.
Tears D: That's so beautifully written and sad, Geoffrey.
There's something about Remembrance Day that always gets to me. This morning, I had tears brimming in my eyes as a man in his late nineties, wearing all his medals with such pride, walked past me on his way to laying the poppy wreath by the names of the dead.
When I worked for the NHS, I used to get so cross with the lack of respect shown to the elderly. Some of the staff really had to mend their ways when I ended up as acting ward sister on a psycho-geriatric ward.
Hi Sarah. Emotive, isn't it? At our local service this morning a boy of about 8 laid a wreath in memory of a relative who won a posthumous VC. Poignant.

How to deal with developer?
Discussion in 'General Entrepreneur Discussion' started by LiveEntrepreneur, Feb 11, 2019.
I have been working on a project lately, and it's just been a bit of a disaster. Basic bugs are all over the application and the communication I feel is very poor. I have to constantly remind the programmer of what needs to be done and it still doesn't get done. It's way past the delivery date. Don't mean to complain here, but just was looking to get some ideas. On how you guys deal with developers that are like this? If I get another developer I'll have to pay for the bug fixes, but with this one I am losing time like I have a month already.
Time and sanity is more important than money, get a new developer.
Don't try changing the persons behavior or output, people don't change.
Next time when first red flag appears replace programmer immediately.
Learn how to write better project descriptions.
Learn how to screen and interview properly so you don't end up in this situation again.
Learn how to use small test work / projects for potential hires.
Learn how to use milestones and project management tools for communication like Basecamp or Slack.
jasoncuellar123, Jello and NMdad like this.
Looking at your situation right now, isn't it better to hire better dev? If his application has basic bugs in the beginning, it will keep getting worse and worse. In the future you may pay more for this guy mistakes than hiring more responsible person now.
I am not a guy who would fire someone immediately because of some mistakes, but if the communications fails there is no other way to go, at least for me.
You can always hire company to find programmer for you if you are not sure how to do it yourself. There're tons for devs nowadays and it's crucial to find good ones in that crowd.
Totally agree with what @WinYourself said. Your current developer has shown who they are & how they work--you're unlikely to change that. Find a new developer, but before you hire them, give them specific tasks to gauge their responsiveness, insight & initiative & problem-solving skills, then hire them for a specific small task. If they do well, increase the size of the next task, and repeat.
Get rid off the dev.
Take ownership for your role in this issue i.e. spend more time on due diligence when hiring resources next time.
Whenever I need a dev, I breakdown my idea into small, containable issues. Either these issues will have open source examples available online (e.g. on github) or you will be able to pattern match the issue to find a solution in a different area.
Draw up the rest. Use tools like invisionapp.com, balsamiq.com etc to make clear what you need.
Poor communication, a lot of bugs, promises and promises.
In the end all was left was a terrible system, no customers and so many bugs it made me cry.
Like everyone else in this thread already mentioned go hire another programmer because this one will not get any better.
Before hiring the next programmer do your research and interview several people.
You might want to consider starting from scratch since patching spaghetti coded software filled with bugs can bring quite a few headaches.
Throwing more money at it with the same poor developer working on it will get you know where.
Only a fool keeps repeating the same thing thinking it will bring other results.
Sounds like it's time for a new developer. Hiring someone should make your job easier, not harder. That's my one and only hiring insight.
For the next try, make sure that whatever you need developed is described in writing, concisely but thoroughly, if it's not already. That will make the transition easier.
In the beginning you need to go through a couple of developers to find out what makes a good one.
On the tool side: Jira is as good as it gets for organising development tasks.
Thanks guys. I guess one mistake was not interviewing more people. I sorta trusted the person from the start because the tone in his voice (the way he spoke) suggested to me that he wants to help and looked at his history, everything seemed fine.
Everytime we are in conversation I ask something and he doesn't really answer it.
Do you think it makes sense to get a refund at this point also?
If you can, why wouldn't you?


And for more information on this topic, check out our blog post detailing six things to consider when writing product descriptions.
Currys gives just four bullet points of information above the fold but provides a hyperlink to more in-depth product details.
The product description is well presented using sub-headings and short paragraphs, and the copywriting is also excellent as it uses persuasive writing to upsell the benefits of the device.
However it runs to almost 1,200 words so it's unlikely that anyone will bother to read it all.
Next to the full description there is also a summary table that just lists the product spec. This is obviously far easier to digest and I would think that most people would use this part as their main point of reference.
Electronics retailer Richer Sounds has such a cluttered product page that it's hard to digest any of the information – to be honest I'm not even sure if I can buy the product online.
There are no product details above the fold other than the standard details and name of the device.
The product description itself follows the same bullet point format as Currys but Richer Sounds hasn't used paragraphs so each section appears as one single bulk of text. This makes it quite difficult to read and isn't very user-friendly.
There is also a 'Specifications' tab which summarises the product details in a table format. It includes a useful explanation of what each feature means, so 'screen size' is defined as 'measured diagonally in inches' and '3D TV' is explained as 'Does it offer 3D viewing? Remember that glasses are not always included'.
This is a nice touch as not everyone is aware of what these terms mean.
Department store John Lewis only offers the basic product information above the fold and instead tries to upsell additional services such as installation and disposal of old devices.
It's quite daunting to look at and would benefit from being broken up with additional sub-headings to help the reader locate the information most important to them.
The bullets are followed by the product specifications, but rather than opting for a table format John Lewis presents the details in another long, unbroken list.
I feel the formatting of both lists could be greatly improved as it's quite an arduous task for the reader to try and pick out the important information.
Department store Sears offers only the basic product description above the fold but includes a hyperlink to more in-depth information further down the page.
It has used a bullet point format where each has its own sub-heading to make the information easier to scan and digest – something John Lewis could certainly learn from.
Sears also displays the specifications and dimensions in a table alongside the description, however it is squashed into a thin column so some of the information is difficult to read.
Best Buy follows the same format as most of the other retailers, with most of the product information appearing beneath the fold.
The layout is clean and easy to read, and the copywriters have taken the time try and translate some of the features into language that all shoppers will understand – e.g. 'Wi-Fi enabled' becomes 'Connect to the internet'.
Best Buy also improves the overall look of the page by only detailing five of the most important specifications followed by a big, blue call-to-action that links to the complete list.
Overall Best Buy has managed to create one of the most user-friendly pages on this list in terms of the design and copywriting.
Crampton & Moore is another retailer that doesn't include any product information at the top of the page, instead opting to promote a five-year warranty and its offer to beat any price on this product.
The detailed product information appears lower down the page and begins with a description of Samsung's new panel technology, which I wouldn't think is the kind of information that most shoppers are looking for.
There are then bullet points for the features and a table that offers a very limited summary of the product specifications.
Overall Crampton & Moore offers fairly limited product information for such an expensive and complicated product, so it's unlikely that consumers would find everything they need in order to make a considered purchase.
My last post covering the mechanics that underpin programmatic media provoked some interesting questions.


Autoimmune disease is more common than even public health officials realize. While each autoimmune disease by itself is relatively rare, when you add up the 80+ and counting diseases and look at them as one problem, autoimmunity becomes quite common.
The CDC Estimates that 5-8% of the US population has an autoimmune disease(1). According to the NIH, that accounts for approximately 23.5 Million Americans(2). Compare that to the 9 million who have cancer, or the 22 million who have heart disease and it's easy to see we have a situation on your hands, here. Women account for 78% percent of autoimmune diseases in the US(1), with many of the "big players" such as Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Graves Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Celiac Disease favoring women. One study found that 7-8% of the US population has antibodies against their thyroid(3), so the problem may very well be even bigger than the CDC and NIH statistics reflect.
When you get down to it, any autoimmune condition is really an immune system problem, NOT an end organ problem. Very rarely does an autoimmune patient have their immune system attended to- and when they do it is often with harsh immuno-suppressant drugs that make them feel like dirt. It is because of this that I believe autoimmune patients are one of the most under-served and miss-understood patient populations in the United States. For example, most hypothyroid patients today are given levothyroxine (thyroid hormone), but are given nothing to help their immune system. A Hashimoto's patient that is on thyroid hormone and nothing else is doing nothing to treat the immune system- their TSH is being managed. This is not to say this is a bad thing to do- a hypothyroid patient needs thyroid hormone- but these people require more immune support than anything else.There are TONS of natural compounds that have been shown to modulate the immune system and dampen inflammation such as curcumin, resvertrol, and vitamin D. Because 70% of the immune cells in your body hide out in the gut, a fantastic way to impact the immune system is through diet and supplements.
-Clean up your diet- Eat more real food and less processed crap.
-Read my post "My Approach to Autoimmune Disease" for a more detailed outline of how I personally work with such cases.
It irks me to no end that many MDs are so quick to slap patients on a pharmaceutical for autoimmune diseases but nutrition and it's role in the management of these diseases is rarely, if ever, addressed. I didn't know however that autoimmune diseases are so much more prolific among women. That is a fascinating statistic you mentioned.
Yep, we sure hit the jackpot when it came to autoimmunity, Rebecca! haha.
"I believe autoimmune patients are one of the most under-served and miss-understood patient populations in the United States"
I CONCUR! Doctors are treating the symptoms and not getting at the root cause. You did mention about the genetic predisposition "not being set in stone." I was a little unclear, there definitely is a correlation.... but I guess it all comes down to triggers for those genes to express. Great piece, I am going to read the other one you linked too! Thanks!
Yes, there is definitly a genetic component to AI diseases, Barb, but they vary from disease to disease. For example, about 95% of folks with celiac disease have the HLA-DQ2 geneotype, while the other remaining 5% generally have the DQ8 geneotype. However, about 30% of the population is HLA-DQ2 and only about 1% of the population has CD, so there is clearly something at play that "turns on" that gene in celiacs.
I appreciate your view that all autoimmune diseases are immune system diseases. Conventional medicine really has it wrong with their treatment silos, especially considering that people who are diagnosed with one autoimmune disease are at much higher risk for developing another autoimmune disease. Treat the root causes and address it as an IMMUNE SYSTEM disease and the risk for developing another autoimmune disease will be lowered.

January 2021 – Meet Graci: She Gives Unconditionally
December 2020 – Meet Gavin: He Has a Big Brave Heart!
Meet Graci, a 15-year-old people-loving inspiration, who despite her medical challenges, is living life to her fullest and "gracing" the lives of others through her good works. Graci was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) at 4 years old, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), metabolic disorder, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) at 11 years old, and Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria in recent months.
Graci would like people to know that although she is living her life with intention that she goes through pain on a daily basis. "People think it's not that bad and that you can deal with it. In reality, it's a lot harder than people think it is." Her daily struggles include stiffness in the morning, and at the end of the day, she feels "tuckered out" and very tired. She deals with lots of fatigue.
Out of Graci's chronic illness come many gifts. She loves going to Juvenile Arthritis Conferences and meeting new people. She gets to see and know people who deal with the same challenges. Her favorite conferences were in Florida and Houston. She got close to a lot of people and was able to hang out and have fun with other kids like her.
Her advice to other kids with chronic illness is, "Take it day by day; some days are better than others and some are worse, but know that there is good in everything even on the worst day." Brave advice from someone so young!
Even though Graci deals with pain and fatigue on a daily basis, she stays active through her hobbies and volunteer efforts. She plays softball and volleyball and hangs out with her friends a lot. She volunteers around the community by supporting others who are conducting charity events. She especially likes to reciprocate to other charities that also support her foundation. Graci enjoys all the people who come out to make the community better while also having fun. "They make me happy!" She also volunteers at the Moniteau Christian Ministries Center Food Bank and helps a family with their Epilepsy- FamiliesSCN2A Foundation event and golf tournament. "Go, Go, Go Graci" sponsors a golf hole every year. If that's not enough, she also volunteers at a golf tournament to support the Missouri Honor Flight for local veterans, helps and sponsors a hole for the Steven Huhmann Golf tournament which raises money for scholarships for local kids and helps at charity kickball, volleyball tournaments and trivia nights.
One of her big fundraising projects that Graci has become well known for is an aluminum can collection project that she does four times a year. People drive by her family home and throw cans into their yard. Now people come by and take pictures making "can angels" in their canned filled yard. All the cans are collected in big garbage bags, and the money goes to the Arthritis Foundation. There were 900 pounds of cans in their yard at the time of the interview for this article! During their first can fundraiser, a man saw the story on the news and reached out to them. He contacted Graci and asked that the cans be brought to his business. He raised the price per pound given to her fundraiser for the Arthritis Foundation. At that time, she didn't even know where they would take their cans, so he was just amazing and such a blessing. You can see more about the Go, Go, Graci can fundraiser and Graci's story by viewing this video: 8 year old Graci Diggs Battles Juvenile Arthritis
Graci has been a long-time supporter of the Arthritis Foundation and participates in many events and fundraisers. At eight-years-old, she sold over 750 St. Louis Cardinals tickets to raise money for the Jingle Bell Run/Walk and she even got to throw out the first pitch at the game. Check out this video where her parents share their story and Graci talks about living with JIA: Juvenile Arthritis: Go, go, go Graci! - Stories Lived
You cannot help falling in love with Graci. Her caring spirit, enthusiasm, and dedication have inspired many. In fact, she has been recognized for several awards:
2015 Arthritis Foundation National Youth Honoree
Emerging Leader Award from the Arthritis Foundation (for her advocacy for arthritis and health care of those with arthritis, at both state and national level)
Selected as EVERYDAY YOUNG HERO by the Youth Service America: Youth Changing the World (for her Cans for a Cure fundraiser bringing health awareness to her disease)
When asked why Graci does all this, she said, "Because the little kids you see today, you don't want them to go through what you have." She believes that one day there will be a cure. "We are the reason there is going to be a cure. And being there and doing it is just fun!" We are all "graced" by the good works of this beautiful young lady.
