Io sono alla ricerca (non urgente) di una co-founder / CTO. Purtroppo nella mia rete non ho (ancora) nessuno wannabe startupper e passione per il coding. Credo che statisticamente la sbilanciatura maschile per questa passione sia il motivo principale per i numeri sbilanciati...
Una domanda/spunto: premesso che non ho (ancora) letto il report di Pitchbook, sul tema delle valutazioni e delle raccolte più basse per le female founders, può dipendere dal tipo di impresa fondata da donne?
Potrebbe anche influire, ma io credo che principalmente dipenda dalla modalità di negoziazione. Però mi documento e cerco di trovare una risposta più approfondita, grazie dello spunto!
A study (https://journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5465/amj.2016.1215) published by The Academy of Management Journal in 2018 shows that one major reason why women have struggled to access funds in the past is that they are being asked different questions to their male counterparts. As a result of this approach from investors, male-founded start-ups received five times more in investment than female-led start-ups. “A lot of it has to do with the fact that investors ask different questions. The female founded team got asked risk-driven questions, and the male team got asked opportunity-driven questions. The study then analysed the outcome of having two male teams present the same pitch, and then investors asking risk and opportunity-driven questions. So, they found there was this bias already on the investors’ side.”
p.s. A recent report (https://foodmatterslive.com/discover/article/60-percent-women-founders-alternative-protein-foodtech-fundraising-bias-vegan-women-summit-report/) published in 2021 by the Vegan Women Summit revealed that 60% of women entrepreneurs working in the plant-based and alternative meats sector experienced bias when it came to fundraising, while half of them reported they had ended a business relationship due to experiencing gender discrimination or harassment. Women of colour founders were also said to be 1.5 times more likely to witness discrimination or harassment than their white counterparts.
