Gender equality on VC |
Inclusion is not an automatic process over history. The most significant progress we made in the direction of a more egalitarian world happened through fights. Although nowadays we have other tools to do this, we still need to make efforts. |
A fantastic example of this type of effort is Frontline. Looking at their portfolio, they funded just 5% of female-founded companies. Based on this data, they started a rough process to increase this number through 5 years. |
In the essay below, Frontline lays down their process to increase the female-founded companies on their portfolio. A strategy to inspire and apply to your business! |

Increase the quality of decision-making |
All it takes to build a successful company is making a sequence of right decisions. And to make the right decisions in an environment where many people are responsible for success, effective communication is crucial. |
In academia, where the goal is to take as close as possible to the truth. All the discussions happen by text. The reason behind it is the transparency and the scalability of this type of communication. Once you’ve written, anyone can come back to your essay and analyze all the points on their time |
