What's behind the massive gender gap in startup investment?

Just 2% of private investment went to all-female founding teams in 2024, and just 15% to teams with at least one female founder. So what can be done about it? This is episode one of a special 6-part series examining solutions for closing the massive gender gap in startup investment. Closing this gap is more important than ever, given the challenges we face in health, climate, housing, tech and elsewhere. Just imagine: what if we could tap into and fund the best possible ideas? This first episode is about laying out the problem. You'll hear from a number of different founders at different points in their startup careers regarding the difficulties they've encountered and witnessed. We need to know the issue, before we can start to go about changing it. This series, What We Could Solve, is hosted by Angela Priestley, produced by Allison Ho, and published by Agenda Media, also the publisher of Women's Agenda.
