Cracking Diversity in VC Starts With...
What if I told you that women make better investors?
There’s some real stats backing it 👉 “Why women are better investors”, by Forbes
“Women are better with Research, Risk Aversion and Self-Control […]
This prevents women from chasing ‘hot’ tips and trading on whims, behavior that tends to weaken men’s portfolios.”
Yet, in 2021, only 11.8% of fund managers were women globally.
Perhaps the most important step if we want to achieve an inclusive and diverse VC space is this…
"We need outreach programs to convince friends to get into angel investing."
