List of Female Venture Capitalists in the United States

List of Female Venture Capitalists in the United States

The following is a list of female venture capitalists in the United States [2]. [1] Several of them were listed in the CrunchBase's Women in Venture Report, an attempt to "establish a well-defined baseline against which to measure future progress of women in the venture business." [3]

After examining the top 100 venture firms, CrunchBase reported a 1% increase from 2016 to 2017; the percentage increased from 7% to 8%.

[3] They provided their readers with their findings, along with a list of female-founded ventures.

[3]

In 2018, in an effort to honor women on International Womens Day, tech publisher Hackernoon and a few other business media outlets selected a series of young American female venture capitalists who they believed made an impact in the VC sphere. [1] [1]
