Women are making real progress in venture capital, and the numbers prove it
A new report by the nonprofit All Raise found that the percentage of women and nonbinary individuals in partner roles at leading firms has doubled in the past few years, despite market headwinds. All Raise CEO Paige Hendrix Buckner chatted with TechCrunch's Dominic-Madori Davis about what's driving the shift on this week's Equity. 'There are two pieces to it,' she said of the progress being made for women. She said much of it is to do with firms looking to become more efficient and are looking to internally promote the best people within their firms. The second part is that firms realize the benefit of having a more diverse set of voices at the decision-making table. 'One, folks got in the door, and then number two, people were able to perform,' she continued. But there is still much work to be done. Compensation, for one, is still an issue. Also, megafirms, those managing more than $10 billion in assets, still do not have many women in those top partner roles. 'It takes time to change,' she said. Luckily, it looks like good news is already on the way.

VC industry has become a better career for women over the past 7 years
Women are making strides in the venture capital world, according to a new report published by the nonprofit All Raise and as first reported by the Wall Street Journal. All Raise released a report that said 18.6% of the top roles at leading VC firms are held by women, which is double what it was in 2018. The survey also found that many women (a quarter of survey respondents) were promoted last year and that investors were still interested in backing underrepresented founders (75% of investors said they were looking to make such deals). Only a handful of women, however, are at the top of mega-funds (those managing $3 billion or more). On that note, though, more women are going solo, with the report showing that more than 100 women-led funds launched this past decade. Almost 180 women-led firms raised $5.3 billion in 2023.
