A recent report by DealStreetAsia – DATA VANTAGE found that startups with at least one female founder bagged 12.6% of all venture funding in 2022. The number dipped to 5.2% for those with a woman in the CEO role, indicating a bigger set of challenges for female-founded, female-led startups in the region.
Investors often direct business-related questions to the male co-founders, even if the CEO is the female co-founder, says Stefanie Juergens, the co-founder and CEO of Indonesian healthcare financing platform CareNow, in an interview.
