團隊中有女性的創業公司可以融到更多資金大綱
A study released by the Kauffman Fellows Research Center highlights an extra benefit to having female founders on your team, reports Bloomberg.
據彭博社報道，考夫曼研究中心發表的一項研究表明，團隊中有女性創始人有額外的好處。Startups with at least one female founder raised an average of 21% more funding from venture capital firms—amounting to $5 million more in funding on average.
至少有一位女性創始人的初創公司從風險投資公司那裏平均可多籌集21%的資金——也就是平均多籌集500萬美元。The study looked at data from Crunchbase for more than 90,000 U.S. VC-backed companies between 2001 and 2018.
該研究調查了Crunchbase（一家覆蓋初創公司及投資機構生態的企業服務數據庫公司）提供的2001年至2018年間9萬多家接受美國風投支持的公司的數據。
It found that in early rounds of investment, mixed-gender startups raised roughly the same amount of cash as their all-male counterparts.
研究發現，在早期的幾輪投資中，男性和女性共同創辦的初創公司籌集到的資金與完全由男性創辦的初創公司籌集到的資金差不多。
However, by the third and fourth rounds of funding, mixed-gender startups raised on average $23 million in VC investment compared to $18 million for all-male teams.
然而，到第三輪和第四輪融資的時候，男女共同創業獲得的風險投資平均爲2300萬美元，而男性創業獲得的風險投資爲1800萬美元。The bad news for startups is that currently only around 22% of them have at least one woman as a founder. Also, all-female founded startups still get the short shrift when it comes to funding.
對初創公司來說，壞消息是目前只有22%的公司至少有一名女性創始人。此外，在融資方面，完全由女性創辦的初創公司仍然受到冷遇。If a startup doesn't have at least one male founder, that startup is likely to get a much smaller slice of the VC funding pie.
如果一家初創公司沒有男性創始人，那麼這家初創公司獲得的風險投資可能會少得多。Research from PitchBook found that of the $130 billion VCs invested in startups last year, only 2.2% of it went to all-female founded startups.
PitchBook（一家提供投資信息的公司）的研究表明，去年初創公司獲得了1300億美元的風投資金，而其中只有2.2%投給了完全由女性創辦的企業。
