Cloudpeeps founder Kate Kendall calls for more action from companies releasing data on funding for female entrepreneurs

Equality advocate and founder of Australian startup Cloudpeeps Kate Kendall has called for more demonstrable action by companies discussing the inequality of female founders in the tech space, saying they should “question their role in leading the conversation” if releasing a report without any associated recommendations.

Kendall’s comments come as a survey of 3000 global entrepreneurs, released today by 99Designs, reveals 28% of the men polled had raised at least $100,000 compared to 15% of women polled. This isn’t any new revelation, however, with a Harvard Business Review survey finding similar results, and a report from Fortune revealing female founders received just 2% of venture capital dollars in 2017.
