Women on Boards
New Study: Who is Governing California's Top AI Startups?
-
Only 15% of board seats are held by women
-
43% of boards don’t include a single woman
Together with Crunchbase and illumyn Impact, we analyzed high-growth AI companies headquartered in California to bring this first-of-its-kind data to light. The results highlight a significant opportunity to increase the representation of women in a sector that will redefine our world, economy, and culture at scale. And, with AI’s extraordinary potential, the time to bring new perspectives to private company boards is now.

"My hope is that this report inspires companies, investors, and policymakers to imagine—and build—a thriving future for AI that works for everyone." - First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom.​​​​​​​​
