points form the article:
- Understanding where people are coming from culturally allows you to cater to a whole array of needs that sometimes aren’t addressed in traditional venture capital.
- It stands to reason that aiming all your efforts to one group is a money-losing endeavor. By diversifying your staff and your target demos, you widen your earning potential.
- My first life sciences investment was a unicorn, and so was my first fintech investment in Mexico, which just shows that women in e-commerce VC should not be underestimated.
- LatAm trails much of the world in financial inclusion and suffers from hugely unbanked or underbanked populations. However, led by Brazil, venture capital pouring into the region has created a mature innovation ecosystem.
- To examine this potential, there’s no better region of the world to consider today than Latin America, which ascended to the fastest growing e-commerce market around the globe in 2020
- Because of its low barrier to entry, e-commerce has an opportunity to bridge the gender-equity divide.
- E-commerce, on average, requires much less start-up capital; so historically disadvantaged groups can overcome systemic biases and unequal access to funding with less difficulty to seed new e-commerce ventures than in more traditional commerce avenues
- female-led venture capital funding actually fell in 2020, to just 2.2% of the overall.
