Female founders need money, not more mentoring

In February it was announced that 43 of the good and the great from the VC world — with a collective £900bn in assets under management — are launching a new mentoring programme to tackle the persistent underinvestment in female founders. An initiative to be applauded given that at last count female founders secured just 1.1% of all VC investment in Europe. With the odds so staunchly stacked against us, we absolutely do need all the support we can get to help us figure out how to play the game and win.
