Anna Ewing, the moderator of the panel discussion at the NYSCI event, asks panel members to provide specific examples of what is preventing women from getting capital and how this situation can be improved. Responses include statistics on women and venture capital, the need to fix the current ecosystem around funding, the need to focus on the gender divide, and for successful women entrepreneurs to serve as examples to new entrepreneurs.
