https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/27/ready-set-raise-the-y-combinator-for-female-founders-announces-second-cohort/ > About one-fourth of the startups in Y Combinator’s summer batch had a female founder. Not the most disappointing statistic if you consider this: Companies with at least one female founder have raised only about 11% of venture capital funding in the U.S. in 2019, according to PitchBook. Companies with female founders exclusively have raised just 3%. > There is so much room for improvement.
