Recommendation 3
3
British Business Bank initiatives for women in venture capital are welcome but insufficient.
Conclusion
We welcome new initiatives by the British Business Bank to support more women into venture capital, particularly the commitment that at least 50% of investment from the Investor Pathways Capital initiative will be targeted at female fund managers and the £100 million investment in the Invest in Women Taskforce. However, we believe there is scope for the Bank to do more across the full range of its activity. (Conclusion, Paragraph 36)
