Venture capital's steep decline is leaving female startup founders in the cold, new data shows

• Venture capital's funk continued in the third quarter and shows no sign of stopping.
• New data from Carta shows the sparse flow of funds has had an outsized impact on women founders.
• Women-only teams pulled in 2.8% of all venture funding in 2023, the lowest tally in four years.

In the midst of a sharp pullback in venture capital investment, women founders are feeling the chill more than men.
