VC in NYC
NYC has double the amount of VC investments in female-founded companies than Silicon Valley. The diversity of the city's industries, along with the diversity of the population, are both contributing factors. Love Dayna Grayson's take on the "east coast edge" in this PitchBook Data article:
For the record, the numbers aren't startlingly large (10% in NYC vs less than 6% in SV)... What else do you think accounts for the discrepancy between the two regions? How can we get more female founders funded and more females financiers funding in both markets?
