As a founding partner of European Women in VC, Borski Fund launched the third pan-European report on the venture capital ecosystem from a gender perspective. The report highlights the positive financial and social impact of diverse investment teams in the growth and venture capital sector.
With this report, Borski Fund opens the discussion on gender inequality in the venture capital landscape. The Borski Fund team deals with this daily. After all, only 1% of venture capital investments still go to all-female teams, while as much as 94% end up with all-male teams.
Or as Kerstin Jorna, Director General of the European Commission, writes in her foreword: ‘Gender diversity improves financial performance in European Venture Capital firms. Despite this evidence, woman founders still face problems accessing equity finance to start and grow their ventures.’
Simone Brummelhuis, partner and fund director at Borski Fund:
‘We must close the investment gender gap to reap all the impact benefits of venture capital. Venture capital is, after all, the most impactful asset class—it funds tomorrow’s solutions for global challenges, stimulates economies, and creates jobs.’
