Transparency and intentionally investing in women

What could we solve by intentionally investing in women? And why is the business case for such investments so strong, and yet still so overlooked? Also, what happens when you bring transparency into the equation and ask VCs to directly outline just how many women they're investing in? This is Part 5 of our limited series, What We Could Solve, investigating real solutions to closing the massive gender gap in funding for startup founders. In this episode, we examine the success of Australia's First Women-Led VC Fund Backing Women-Led Startups. We then explore successful examples that are occurring overseas in the UK. And we take a look at the power of transparency and what real data standards could achieve in understanding the extent of the problem around the lack of investment dollars going to women, how it's improving, and which interventions are leading to positive results. This episode crosses broad ideas with real success results, both in Australia and overseas. All under the banner of Intentionally Investing in Women. This is Part 5 of What We Could Solve, the limited series Women's Agenda is producing on solutions to closing the gender funding gap. You can find the two previous parts in the podcast feed.
