Session: Overcoming the Funding Gap: How women in tech can win funding battles

Obtaining funding is crucial for any business, but it can be incredibly challenging for women in the tech industry. According to a National Center for Women & Information Technology study, only 2.7% of venture capital funding goes to women-led startups. This funding gap can be frustrating and demoralizing, but it's important to remember that it's not insurmountable. With the right strategies and mindset, women in tech can overcome this challenge and win the battle for funding.


Key Takeaways

  • Diversity in the tech industry has led to better decision-making, increased innovation, and higher financial performance. Companies with diverse leadership are more likely to succeed long-term, and investors are taking note.
  • A study by McKinsey found that companies with higher diversity are 35% more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians.
