October Venture Funding News

| |

We’re back with our monthly funding news, covering venture capital deals for women-founded companies. Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter here. 

If you’re new around here, only 2% of venture capital dollars went to startups founded by all-women teams and over 80% of VC investments went to all-men founding teams in 2022. At Glass Half Funded, we care deeply about increasing diversity in the industry and want to celebrate women that secure VC funding.
