As a female CEO of an integrated investment firm that is women-led and owned, these latest figures are shocking and saddening. Halfway through 2024, funding for startups founded by women is down sharply compared to recent years. This female founders dashboard shows that startups with at least one female founder garnered $15.4 billion across 1,487 deals through the first six months of 2024. This is the lowest amount of capital raised in H1 since 2020. These numbers make evident the persistent challenges that female founders face in securing venture capital. I am committed to changing this narrative. Our focus on impact and philanthropy, coupled with our mission to empower women in investment and wealth, drives us to actively support and uplift female entrepreneurs. It's time for the investment community to recognize the value and potential that female-founded startups bring to the table. 🙋♀️ #WomenInBusiness #FemaleFounders #Investment #VentureCapital #WomenEmpowerment #Avestix #AVXI
