The Importance of Backing Female Founders

One of the key learnings in my venture capital journey is the importance of backing female founders. I've realized that there's a disparity in pitching styles between male and female founders, with the boys club being more familiar with the format and best practices. This has been an eye-opening experience, as I see the potential for change within the industry. It's important for female founders to understand the specific nuances that VCs look for, such as using the right tools like Google Suite, in order to increase their chances of securing funding.
