Abstract
Achieving gender equity in entrepreneurship is a pressing societal concern. A growing number of studies have provided consistent evidence for gender disparities and barriers for female entrepreneurs. Yet, research also suggests that under certain conditions, tied to the unique features of the entrepreneurship context, there may also be a female advantage in venture evaluations and funding outcomes. In this symposium, we hone in on this burgeoning line of inquiry by bringing together four presentations that investigate when and why a female (dis)advantage emerges, and how certain features of this context help to mitigate gender bias. Based on a diverse array of methods (archival, experimental, and video metrics) and samples (angel investors, accelerators, and cofounders), the presentations highlight novel mechanisms underlying gender bias in entrepreneurship settings. Overall, this symposium aims to 1) offer actionable insights for recognizing and addressing gender bias in entrepreneurship and 2) identify new directions for gender research more broadly.
