“…We also converted the continuous measure of industry gender dominance into categories of female-dominated industries (i.e., 56% or higher women employed) versus male-dominated industries (i.e., 44% or lower women employed) versus gender-neutral industries (i.e., 45 to 55% women employed) to examine results both across and within gender. These categories correspond to robustness thresholds of recent work conducted on gender-dominated sectors (48); see the Supplementary Materials for sensitivity analyses confirming that interaction effects are consistent on the basis of alternative thresholds for industry categorization and a binary industry classification, as well as results of supplementary analyses conducted specifically on gender-neutral industries. When catering to male-dominated industries that represent a lack of fit for women, male-led ventures raised $21.8 million on average, over 10 times the $2.1 million raised on average by female-led ventures (with ln funding diff = 7.84, P < 0.001, indicated by post hoc comparisons using Tukey's post hoc test).…”

“…Studies 1 and 2 make several contributions to recent research at the intersection of gender and venture funding ( 31 , 48 , 50 53 ). First, we not only document that a gender gap in the amount of funding raised persists across ventures of comparable quality and need but also help extend the gap to encompass the valuation at which funding is raised and the percentage of founder equity that is retained in the process.…”

“…Schumpeter's theory of "creative destruction" postulates that the entry of entrepreneurial ventures pushes out obsolete and inefficient firms and brings innovative technologies to the market. Entrepreneurship is also crucial for the vitality of the economy and economic growth through new job and market creationhence employment and productivity growth (Haltiwanger, 2012[3]; Haltiwanger, Jarmin and Miranda, 2013 [4]; Criscuolo, Gal and Menon, 2014 [5]; Calvino, Criscuolo and Menon, 2015 [6]).…”
