Out of how many? When were they founded? When did they raise the money? What&#x27;s the trend (founded&#x2F;total, funded&#x2F;total and funded&#x2F;founded)?<p>It&#x27;s nonsense to talk about this kind of thing without the correct frame of reference. At least if you&#x27;re trying to argue that not enough black women led startups get funded (which seems to be what the headline is getting at).<p>Also, what about other ethnicities? What about black men? What about white women? What about social backgrounds? Was their ethnicity the distinguishing factor at that point or were they preselected prior to becoming entrepreneurs?<p>The first step to finding out how to solve the problem is to find out where the problem actually stems from. The 5 Whys apply to social problems as much as to technical ones.
