A VC argues that hiring women partners improves firm performance and helps female founders. Women CEOs want female sounding boards, women partners bring different coaching styles, and diverse partner teams achieve better investment outcomes.
I heard time and time again from the CEOs that we were helping who happened to be women that they really appreciated having a woman sounding board in some instances. So, you know, to go back a bit to what you can do, you know, to improve your track record, hire a woman partner at your VC shop. You know, that's a pretty easy way to make your space more welcoming to women. I think we coach differently and, you know, of course the best teams are diverse. It's not about just having women necessarily, but diversify your partner group, I think, is a good way for investors to have a better track record.
