Why Are There Only 4 Women in the Quote Top 100 Young Millionaires?

They also highlight the fragmented, opaque funding landscape that remains difficult for many to navigate.

The bottom line? The system is far from equal. But there are solutions. It starts with awareness and data.

On June 13, Code-V has launched its first gender-lens data report to show exactly how much funding goes to female founders, and to map out systemic solutions to close these gaps.

We’re glad to see more media attention on the growth potential of female entrepreneurship.
