VC FUNDING TO FEMALE FOUNDERS PEAKED IN 2023

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

In 2023, a record-breaking 25% of U.S. venture funding, amounting to $34.7 billion, was invested in startups with at least one female co-founder. The AI sector, in particular, saw over 50% of its investment going to companies with female founders, driven by significant funding rounds raised by companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Despite this progress, the majority of funded AI startups still lack female founders, and sustained efforts are needed to support women entrepreneurs across all funding stages.
