The startup community is a man's world. At least, in terms of funding, it is.
A recent study from professors at Harvard and MIT found that men are much more likely to receive venture capital than women. The startup community is only 17 percent female, according to an infographic from Bright Journey.
In the study, participants listened to pitches narrated by male and female voices. Those narrated by a male voice were picked more than twice as much as those narrated by their female counterparts. The study also found that people were much more likely to give funding if the men were considered attractive.
