According to a recent Inc. article citing data from the Female Founders Fund, startups led by women generate more revenue per dollar raised (78 cents vs. 31 cents for male-led startups) and burn 15% less capital, showcasing their efficiency and impact despite receiving only 2.1% of venture capital funding in 2023. While female founders still face major funding disparities, the past decade has seen progress—including a near doubling of funding to female-founded startups and a rise in women holding decision-making roles in VC firms.
