If we want to - really - shift and diversify who gets to start and grow companies, we need to shift and diversify who funds them. Me for @Siftedeu on Europe, angels, and what we need to do.

I want to see more women making decisions, controlling resources, & shaping policies. That’s why I’m committing $1B over the next 10 years to expanding women’s power & influence in the U.S. #EqualityCantWait, & no one in a position to act should either. m-gat.es/2nEH7Zw

1/2 Proud & excited to see @Adelbadge & Euan Blair raise from @IndexVentures @WhiteHatGB story is compelling & needed. However angry @TheTimes cut a female founder out of picture (literally & figuratively) bit.ly/30zO23I @olivershah
