Beyond Barriers: The Gender Funding Gap in Startups

Curated by Noga Edelstein and written by journalist Stephanie Palmer-Derrien, Tractor Ventures’ ongoing Beyond Barriers series brings together research, commentary and perspectives from across Australia’s startup and investment community to unpack why the gender funding gap persists.

Featuring perspectives from founders, investors, researchers and industry leaders, the series looks across the wider system shaping women’s access to capital, including investor behaviour and decision-making, networks and representation, alternative forms of finance, economic participation, policy and structural barriers to growth and provides useful resources for founders and funders.
