    Women entrepreneurs own less equity in Silicon Valley
  • If you have been questioning how much wealth in Silicon Valley is held by women, the short answer is not a lot.

    To no one's surprise, a recent report highlights the gender gap among paper millionaires in Silicon Valley, revealing that women own just a quarter of the equity of their male colleagues.

    Here are more details.

    Women own 49 cents equity for every dollar men own Only 1 in 8 CEOs are women, finds study Women representation in finance drops 70% as seniority increases Women accounted for 30% study participants; held 11% equity 'Women aren't in right roles at right time'

  • The new study, called Table Stakes, was conducted by the equity management platform Carta.

    It compiled data from over 3 lakh employees, nearly 10,000 companies, and over 25,000 founders.

    Carta found that women hold 49 cents for every dollar in stock options men do. However, the gender gap is a 2% improvement from last year, when Carta published its first gender equity gap report.

  • Executive roles

    Only 1 in 8 CEOs are women, finds study

  • Among C-suite positions, the chief marketing officer (CMO) and chief operating officer (COO) roles- predominantly occupied by women- are awarded less equity.

    While the most highly-compensated executive roles remained dominated by men, only 1 in 8 CEOs are women.

    Notably, CEOs get more than double the equity of the next-highest compensated executive.

    Contrarily, CMOs, the role where women are best-represented (32%), were the worst-compensated.

  • Information

    Women representation in finance drops 70% as seniority increases

  • According to the study, finance roles witnessed a 26 times increase in equity, the highest, from lower-level to C-suite roles. However, as seniority on finance teams increases, we see fewer and fewer women, as female representation drops by 70%.

  • The study also found that among engineers, at every level, there were less than 20% women. Comparing junior and mid-level employees, engineers receive an average of over double the equity grants as compared to other departments.

    And even though women accounted for a third of the participants in the study, they only held 11% of the total equity wealth.

    'Women aren't in right roles at right time'
  • Carta Vice-President (Marketing), Emily Kramer, told CNBC, "Women aren't in the right roles at the right time in a company's lifecycle," adding that roles like founders, investors and early engineers- which have "outsized equity"- have fewer women representation.

    She added, "We need to take a look at how the start-up and VC ecosystem values the work and talents of women. We can do better."
