Blurb: Women founders typically receive less than three percent of venture capital dollars, which is actually lower than it was twenty years ago. The underlying issues of gender equality don't only affect founders though, but venture capitalists as well. In fact nearly sixity-four percent of large venture capital firms have no female partners at all.

(Jenny Abramson) Founder and Managing Partner of ReThink Impact, the largest VC Fund backing female CEOs, has built her career around supporting and addressing the gender divide stubbornly persistent in the entrepreneurial space. Today she brings to us a host of insights into the largely unaddressed gender diversity issues and biases faced by female founders, specifically female founders raising capital, as well as how female founders can proactively address unconscious gender biases.
