What is your target in terms of 12 months rolling investment in startups with at least one female in the founders' team (she must hold equity) for December 2024 and December 2025 (between 0% and 100%)?

*This voluntary Pledge is merely a starting point. We believe that by putting a stake in the ground, and publicly declaring our commitments, we will create a baseline. We hope that venture capital firms will aim high, and there should be no shame in missing a target. The most important measure will be that the trend line scales rapidly upward in future years.
