Of the over $4 billion raised by ventures in the period in question, only 9.1 per cent went to companies co-founded by a woman, and just 2.9 per cent to startups with a female CEO or equivalent. $369,102,000 (9.1%) went to female co-founders, and $119,053,000 (2.9%) went to female CEOs, according to a Disrupt Africa report.
