Venture funding for female founders has hit its lowest quarterly total in three years.

While overall US venture capital investments in 2020 are on par with previous years, those funds haven't necessarily reached female business owners, dealing them a disproportionate blow. 

Investments in women-led companies this year are on pace to be the worst since 2017.

(PitchBook, Sept. 30, 2020)

Among entrepreneurs, women receive far less venture capital funding than men do. Over the last decade, an average of just 2% of all venture capital investment in the US has gone to firms founded by women, per PitchBook. 1% VC funding goes to Black and Latinx founders.
