Evidence that investors penalize female founders for lack of industry fit
The nice thing about any unconscious biases here based on gender or race is that money is directly at stake.<p>If you can identify an overlooked segment of founders, you can invest in that group and get industry beating returns.<p>I don&#x27;t know the name of the VC company but I remember reading about one that only invests in female founders and not out of any charity, they correctly realized of their peers are overlooking female founders then they&#x27;ll be a comparative bargain to invest in.<p>Research like this is great to shine a light on it and get VCs to take notice. Their money will quickly follow - that&#x27;s my prediction anyway.
