Diana Project Women Business Owners and Equity Capital: The Myths Dispelled
The report examines the current state of venture capital for women entrepreneurs interested in, and capable of, high-growth venturing. The Project explores the eight myths, or stereotypes, that have the potential to inhibit a womans chance of gaining access to equity capital. The report also outlines the potential implications of the apparent disparity between men- and women-owned ventures and their access to equity funding - and provides some key recommendations to encourage and facilitate equity investment in all entrepreneurial ventures.
