I commented the same thing in another thread. I am not arguing the base rate or whether female founders experience discrimination, I am just arguing YC's female ratio is definitely not higher than other VC's which pg hints at due to Jessica. In fact I think other VCs have something in the range of 20% IIRC(would not mind to be corrected though).

Okay fair enough, but why look at female founders in terms total valuation percent, then? I think my point about the distortion from the (likely) exponential distribution of total valuation still stands, although in this case with regards to comparison between VCs.

Isn't it straightforward to just look at percent of female founders?

Totally agreed. I couldn't find the numbers though.

To your credit, at least you got data to begin investigating your claim. I'm usually to lazy to do that...
