I am biased. Since I went into Tech world in 2018, I've been involved in organising pitching competition. And I would CLAP harder when it's a female founder. And I would ask leading questions so female founders get to flex their metrics. And I would always push for more women (if she's a part of a co-founderhood) to pitch because I know the more airtime you get, the more polished and confident you will be in your presentation delivery. Here I was with an Indonesian female co-founder in a fintech that's on a mission to get the unbanked into e-commerce. What's your pitching experience been in the past year?

Despite their growing influence in the U.S. economy, SomosVC's annual "State of Latino/a VCs" report finds the significant underrepresentation of Latino professionals in venture capital. With only 2% representation in firms with over $100 million in assets under management and a lack of diversity at the partner level, there is a pressing need for new approaches to promote more equitable representation. Despite these challenges, Latino-led firms have committed to investing in diverse founders and have played a significant role in job creation. SomosVC, a nonprofit, aims to accelerate and elevate the presence of Latinos in VCs by empowering investors to be their authentic selves.  Overall, there is immense potential for the Latino community to make a positive impact on the tech ecosystem and the economy as a whole.

I shared this little snippet with a female investor today and thought "I should share that more widely" so here we go. Did you know that over time a female founder (on average) ends up with 5.78% of the shares of their company and male founders end up with 21.46% of their companies? This is because we undervalue our companies and get over diluted. It bakes in financial inequity as then the successful female founders make less money on exit and have less to re-invest in the next generation. NB. This data is taken from an analysis of the portfolios of two of NZ's most well known investment groups looking at a total of 197 different companies.
