Dana Kanze : The real reason female entrepreneurs get less funding


Dana Kanze at TEDxPeachtree  (transcript)
The real reason female entrepreneurs get less funding
Summary
For a long time, the business world and market should be equal between male and female, though, the speaker tells us that there is still the cycle of implicit gender bias in start-up funding. It's considered to be done insidiously thus people can’t directly see and hear.
She who studies impact gender bias in start-ups tells us more interesting. The reason that females get less funding is not only male VCs do but also female VCs do and the solution is not to change questions but to change answers. She said that female entrepreneurs have to recognize the prevention questions and answer to garner higher amounts of funding.
And then, in the last, the word “together ”that she said means not male and female, and not VCs and all entrepreneurs but she and only female entrepreneurs, she said that men and women fight a chance to grow and thrive, though. It’s not really fair.

Words in this story
insidious /adj/ proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects.
subtle /adj/ (especially of a change or distinction) so delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyze or describe.
implicit /noun/ implied though not plainly expressed.
