The Good

• Female and male founder teams captured 15.6% of total venture cash in 2021, the highest amount since 2017.

The Bad

• Female founders got 2% of all U.S. venture capital dollars in 2021—the lowest percentage since 2016.

• 2021 was the second year in a row that women’s percentage of VC funding shrank.
