VCs say they want to fund more women, but it’s time to do #MoreThanTalk.
For International Women's Day,
Digital Currency Group is committing to give all female founders in the crypto space a direct line to our investments team.
Real Talk
We're going to be open with you. Only 9% of our 122 active portfolio companies are female founded... and just 3% of our total companies are solely led by women.
Though we're not far off from industry averages, we feel strongly that these numbers should be higher.
According to Crunchbase, the number of VC-backed companies with female founders rose to 17%* in 2019, but only 2% of companies did not have a male co-founder.
While the gender imbalance in our portfolio is not deliberate, it is common and likely to persist if we don’t do #MoreThanTalk about our desire for a better ratio.
The Goal: To back the most high-integrity and talented entrepreneurs in the industry
Our Approach: Maintain high investment standards, while purposefully broadening our reach
