I&#x27;m not sure I understand the argument here. Can we assume that Venture funds are in business to maximize their money? If so, any good manager should be acting in the best interest of their investors, not their own prejudice.<p>I can believe that it&#x27;s harder for women to raise money, but I also believe that any great company, run by women or otherwise, will be able to raise money. Passing on an investment simply because women run a company is always a bad business decision.<p>Additionally, the argument that only 4-7% of investments go to women may be an example of correlation without causation (I.e. VC&#x27;s aren&#x27;t seeing enough good companies led by women to make them a larger part of their portfolio).
