Since I’ve started working in the entrepreneurship space, women founders have slowly but surely started breaking into the tech space. While it’s not nearly equivalent to the number of men, the number of women who are co-founding or founding companies has nearly doubled from 9.5 percent of startups in 2009 to 18 percent in 2014.

But what hasn’t increased at the same time are the number of women investors. You may ask yourself why that should matter – don’t all investors just want to make the best deals? Does the female/male ratio really matter?
