Women in venture capital hold 11% of executive positions at Silicon Valley companies compared to 16% across S&P 100 firms, according to a report by law firm Fenwick & West. Silicon Valley firms' board of directors are composed of 15.7% women compared with 20.9% in the S&P 100. VC firms are even less diverse than the tech companies in which they invest. Babson College’s Diana Report, a research initiative working to increase the number of women entrepreneurs, found that the number of women partners in VC firms decreased from 10% in 1999 to 6% in 2014. The report also found that 97% of VC-funded businesses had men chief executives, and businesses with all-men teams are more than four times more likely to receive VC funding as teams with one or more women.〔http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/mar/13/ellen-pao-gender-lawsuit-silicon-valleym〕 Seventy seven to seventy nine percent of VC firms in the US have never had a woman represent them on the board of one of their portfolio companies. And more than three-quarters don’t have any women working as venture capitalists at all, according to testimony from Harvard Business School Professor Paul Gompers in Pao v. Kleiner Perkins. Gompers said he found that women fared better in firms that are larger, older, and have more than one woman working as a venture capitalist. He also testified that on average, women perform as well as the men in these types of firms.” 〔.http://www.wired.com/2015/03/gender-problem-venture-capital-really-really-bad/〕 In March 2015 a gender discrimination lawsuit filed by Ellen Pao against her employer Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers alleged pervasive sexism that hinders promotion of women in technology (tech) and venture capital (VC). The case verdict was judged in favor of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers on all counts in Pao v. Kleiner Perkins. ==List of women in venture capital== In alphabetical order: *Jennifer Fonstad, formerly at Draper Fisher Jurvetson, founded Aspect Ventures with Theresia Gouw Ranzetta in 2014〔http://www.cnbc.com/id/102541706〕 *Ann Lamont (Ann Huntress Lamont), Oak Investment Partners * Aileen Lee, Cowboy Ventures〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The rulebook for being a female investor: don't complain | The Verge )〕 *Jenny Lee, GGV Capital〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2012/05/02/midas-list-five-most-powerful-female-venture-capitalists/〕 * Ellen Pao * I-Wen (Ruby) Lu〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2012/05/02/midas-list-five-most-powerful-female-venture-capitalists/〕〔http://www.forbes.com/lists/midas/2012/ruby-lu.html〕 * Mary Meeker, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers * Adele Oliva, Quaker Partners〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2012/05/02/midas-list-five-most-powerful-female-venture-capitalists/〕 *Theresia Gouw Ranzetta, formerly at Accel Partners〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2012/05/02/midas-list-five-most-powerful-female-venture-capitalists/〕 *Beth Seidenberg, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers〔http://www.7x7.com/tech-gadgets/meet-bay-areas-top-female-venture-capitalists〕 *Shanna Tellermann〔http://www.7x7.com/tech-gadgets/meet-bay-areas-top-female-venture-capitalists〕 * Tracy “Trae” Vassallo (formerly Traci Neist), fired by Kleiner Perkins in early 2014 *Margit Wennmachers, Andreessen Horowitz 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Women in venture capital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
