Startup runway is the amount of time a company can continue to operate before running out of money, and many female founders only had one to six months of runway during 2020. Just over ** percent of female founders surveyed said that their company had enough capital to operate for four to six months. Venture capital funding for female-founded startups in the U.S. declined in 2020, marking the first such decrease in recent years.
