What do you mean, "where are the ladies"?

A look at the numbers tells the story quite well. Only 4-9% of all deals go to women entrepreneurs [source], and less than 10% of companies with female co-founders have been venture funded. My research addresses these facts and asks the same question from a sociological standpoint. In a world where the Facebooks, Groupons, and Twitters (all male-led ventures) have been gaining so much media attention, it is worth addressing the glaring absence of the other half of the population in a space that is growing rapidly.

If you're a startup founder (male or female) or VC yourself and think you can help, you can take my survey, sign-up for an interview afterwards, or pass this site along to a someone you know.

The survey takes about 10-20 minutes to complete.

You can also sign-up for an optional interview at the end of each survey.

Who qualifies?

But wait! I'm not any of these, but I still want to contribute.
