'We want to make the actual structure that women are working within more supportive.' with Just_Kate
Women 2.0 began in 2006 with a goal of increasing gender equality in the tech world. The organization offers content, programming, and resources to help women grow their careers and their companies, as well as access to an expansive network. We chatted with Kate to learn more about why Women 2.0 is expanding into the venture capital space now, after 13 years of Women 2.0, and discussed how she hopes the move will contribute to increased gender equality in the startup ecosystem.
We need the entire VC industry to make a large mental shift if we want to close the gap. This will definitely take some time, but the more funds that come along and focus on the people and markets currently underserved by the VC community, the more we can all help push awareness in the right direction. But it doesn’t stop there. Traditional VC investors and firms need to change their investment outlooks to include innovation from founders and teams they haven’t historically considered.
But we’re still in the awareness stage. It sometimes feels like we’ve been beating this over the industry’s head for the last 10 years, but people are still coming around to the idea that the gap is there and it’s a problem. Last year, after, there was a study done that asked several VCs about the state of gender equality in venture capital.
