DealStreetAsia’s webinar ‘Is VC funding for women founders getting any better?’ began with some sobering statistics derived from the DealStreetAsia DATA VANTAGE report on ‘Women in Startups: The SE Asia Edition‘.
Deals involving women founders or co-founders accounted for a mere 17.1% of the total PE and VC activity tracked in 2020 in Southeast Asia. If Grab is taken out of the equation, the number dips to just 4.7%. Sponsored by Globe Telecom, the webinar was full of actionable insights and suggestions on moving the dial when it came to fundraising by women entrepreneurs.
