Recommendation 7
7
Prepare Government to intervene on gender quotas if female entrepreneur investment does not improve.
Recommendation
Wo do not support mandating gender quotas on investment committees at this stage, as measures to improve transparency and increased incentives to change behaviour should be given time to have an effect; but the Government should not rule out intervention in the future if the level of venture capital investment in female entrepreneurs shows no sign of improvement. (Recommendation, Paragraph 40)
