Meet 20 Women Who Made Partner at VC Firms in 2023

• The venture capital industry is overwhelmingly male.
• But more firms made moves to close the gender gap in 2023 by hiring and promoting women to partners.
• The new check-writers include Khosla Ventures’ Alice Brooks and Founders Fund’s Jennifer Campbell.

In many ways, progress has remained slow, especially as investors tighten their purse strings and founders brace for a “mass extinction event.” According to PitchBook data, women accounted for 16% of general partners at VC firms that hold more than $50 million in assets in 2022, the most recent year for which data was available.
