EUROPEAN WOMEN IN VC IDC #EUR148997722 © IDC 2022 21 General Partner Senior position Mid Level position Junior position THE VC ECOSYSTEM & DIVERSITY — Addressing the Gender Balance from the Top Down 02 Where men tend to grow their careers at VCs, women tend to drop off. Gender balance at the junior and mid- level positions is more evenly distributed, yet there are still quite a few funds without a single female on the investment team. The more senior the position, the fewer females are present. Female career development and female career perspectives should be addressed to create more evenly balanced growth opportunities in the VC community. Note: The funds which participated in the survey have a stronger focus on gender balance. Bearing this in mind, gender inequality is most visible at the top at those funds.
