新西兰由女性领导的初创企业尽管回报较高,经济潜力巨大,但风险资本不到3%。 New Zealand's female-led startups get under 3% of venture capital, despite higher returns and major economic potential.

根据奥克兰大学的“性别投资差距”研究,新西兰只有女性创办企业获得的风险资本投资不到3%,只有十分之一获得任何资金。 Female-only startups in New Zealand receive less than 3% of venture capital investment, with only one in ten getting any funding, according to the University of Auckland's Gender Investment Gap study. 研究发现,这些新开办企业共收到1.6亿美元的风险资本投资460万美元。 The research found that these startups received $4.6 million of $160 million in total venture capital investment. 联合创始人Jenny Rudd将这种差距归因于在投资方面的白人男性偏见,指出妇女领导的企业往往带来更高的回报。 Co-founder Jenny Rudd attributes the disparity to a white-male bias in investing, noting that women-led businesses often deliver higher returns. 全球研究表明,投资于妇女可以给世界经济增加5万亿美元,为新西兰带来320亿美元的潜在利益。 Global research suggests investing in women could add $5 trillion to the world economy, with $32 billion in potential benefits for New Zealand.
