DYI: Women Starting their Own VC Funds

Description:

It’s well known that female founders face discrimination raising venture capital funding (raising only 2.2 percent of all VC funding in 2018). What’s worse, only 8% of the top 100 venture capital firms have women partners. Women are choosing to break out of firms that are male-dominated and start raising their own funds, so they have power. When more women are on the other side of the table, yielding all the power and influence, more female-founders will get their shot. However, female venture capitalists face tremendous obstacles when starting their own funds. Jessica Peltz Zatulove and Kimmy Paluch discuss their experience raising money and offer insight to those looking to jump into the arena; moderated by Sarah Koch from the Case Foundation.
