Robb and Coleman reported findings from a 2014
survey that women founders prefer to rely on personal sources
of financing and are three times less likely to approach angel investors or
venture capitalists for equity financing.
It draws on and integrates the results
of surveys administered to 10 incubators, 17 accelerators, 24 Angel groups, 8
venture capitalists and 54 entrepreneurs, as well as other data collected by NACO.
