How Can Venture Capital Achieve Gender Parity?

In 2016, only 5% of VC funding went to women. Given the recent revelations about sexual harassment in the industry, and gender disparities in tech overall, how can women seize more of the venture capital pie? Doree Shafrir, senior tech writer for BuzzFeed News and author of STARTUP: A NOVEL, will moderate a panel with Trail Mix Ventures GP and entrepreneur Soraya Darabi, Homebrew founder and partner Hunter Walk, and Parity Partners program director Natalia Quintero.
