💡 Our annual All In report analyzes data surrounding female founders and investors in the US #VC ecosystem.

Access to VC funding is historically more difficult for female founders, and our aim is to quantify both progress and pain points.

🧵👇

[PitchBook @PitchBook]

Female founders garnered higher deal values with $32.4 billion across 2,811 deals as of Q3 2022 compared to previous years, apart from recording setting activity in 2021

It’s weird because just a few weeks ago conservatives were howling that if we left Afghanistan, women would be punished for their sexual choices by a repressive religious regime out to control their bodies. Imagine.

Interesting thread showing the breakdown of founders of 🦄’s to date. 5-7 years from now, I think (and hope) it will look quite different. Only 2.3% of VC $$ went to female founders in 2020 (probably lower when most of these started) yet females make up 9% of unicorn founders.🤔
