The venture capital industry needs to look at female representation in their teams more seriously as it would allow them to understand women founders better and make them more comfortable in taking investment calls, says Ayushi Gudwani, founder and CEO, FS Life (formerly Fablestreet).
“More women in the venture capital industry are surely needed for women to get fair representation in funding as well. Also, as more female founders see success, more VCs will warm up to women founders. Male VCs should also try to spend more time with women founders (even those they haven’t invested in) to understand them better,” said Gudwani in an interview for DealStreetAsia’s Female Founders report 2022.
