We are excited to welcome our partner PitchBook to the Women in CVC Summit in Sonoma next month to present the 2023 All in US Report. According to the report, female founders in the U.S. made positive gains in 2023, but they still face major barriers to securing venture capital funding. https://lnkd.in/ggcrDEy6   Annemarie Donegan will lead a discussion about how key industry players are supporting women investors and founders, and how others can help champion those efforts. In the All In Report, the share of female check writers (GP level) at the largest VC firms grew slightly from the previous year to 17.4%. Separately, we partnered with PitchBook in our 2023 State of CVC Survey Report, co-authored by SVB. In our findings (https://lnkd.in/gM_gF-Gm), 17% of corporate venture heads identify as female.   Corporate investors, check out the summit and more events at counterclub.vc

It is no secret that venture deal making has varied significantly when broken down by gender, with female-founded companies collectively receiving far less investment than male-founded companies. But the data shows that there are reasons to be optimistic about what lies ahead. 👏 PitchBook's annual All In: Female Founders in the US VC Ecosystem report was just published along with its inaugural accompanying report - the All In: Female Founders in the European VC Ecosystem. You can find the US report here: https://lnkd.in/g_vpYBaF Find the European report here: https://lnkd.in/gH8CcRuq
