More rolemodels and education to fight bias and encourage women to launch businesses or to work in finance; 2. More female entrepreneurs for more women-founded companies in dealflow; 3. More female investors with decision making powers for a better ratio of women-founded companies financed vs. women-founded companies presented; 4. More women-founded companies financed  for more role models. In France, initiatives such as SISTA aim to reduce the inequality of funding between female and male entrepreneurs. We also benefit from support schemes for young parents to help balance family and professional lives. Things are moving in the right direction; this must now be reflected in the capital raised by women-led companies. MAYA NOEL CEO, France Digitale  ALICE ALBIZZATI Founding Partner at Revaia
