Concerning trends here. Venture capital funding overall has surged in recent years, but the numbers haven't progressed for female founders at the same pace. In 2023, companies founded solely by women garnered just 2.1% of the total capital invested in venture-backed startups in the US. However, US VC funding for female-founded or co-founded companies has been trending up in recent years, and 2023 saw the creation of several women-led funds, incubators for female founders and more new companies.
