A better economic recovery requires investment in women-owned businesses The free market of venture capital has proven it will not fix this capital-allocation and investment problem. So we need to fix it through targeted policy, and the incoming Biden-Harris administration can lead the way. Our economy depends on it. By using policy to create a competitive marketplace with a level playing field, the new administration can catalyze equitable economic prosperity for all. Female founders are not an act of charity.

In the face of divisive politics, paid family leave should remain a bipartisan priority
