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. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With this report, Borski Fund opens the discussion on gender inequality in the venture capital landscape.

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. <\/p>\n 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.’<\/em><\/p>\n ‘We must close the investment gender gap to reap all the impact benefits of venture capital.
