In this "Lessons" episode, Julia Boorstin, CNBC Senior Correspondent and author, examines why women receive only a small share of venture capital funding despite equal or higher educational attainment. She breaks down how the “broken rung” slows early career advancement, how pattern matching and unconscious bias influence investment decisions, and why female founders often receive smaller checks even when they secure funding. Julia also highlights how diversifying leadership and restructuring investment processes can reduce bias and lead to stronger, more profitable outcomes.
