What's Verizon's "policy-wall"?

When reading the source https://my.visme.co/view/01070kx3-unconventional-ventures-no... the divide goes:

Gender | % Companies (#) | % Funding

All men | 85 (1473) | 88.81

All women| 6.35 (110) | 2.21

Mixed | 8.66 (150) | 8.98

Notes:

- There is no disparity when it comes to number of rounds

- The trend is decrease in funding from all men teams (-10 points compared to 2019) and increase mostly for mixed teams (+10 points) and women (+2 points) (their numbers don't add up to 100...)

The article reads "On top of the female-founded startups finding it difficult to raise any money at all, the 6% of startups that did, only received 1.3% of the funding.".

I understand it as 6% of female-founded startups managed to raise money and they received 1.3% of total founding, rather than 6% of startups were all-female.

Yeah it's a terrible article. I mapped the few sentences there were to the pie chart at the top...

"all men 93%" = "All male teams made up 83% of the startups but they raised 93% of total funding".

"all women 1%" = "On top of the female-founded startups finding it difficult to raise any money at all, the 6% of startups that did, only received 1.3% of the funding"

"mixed 6%" = the remainder, which maps nicely to 5.7% rounded.

The linked report doesn't even conform to the posted article lol: https://my.visme.co/view/01070kx3-unconventional-ventures-no...

In the report:

"all men = 85.00%"

"all women = 6.35%"

"mix = 8.66%"

The article doesn't give the proportion of mixed and all-female teams, just of all male teams. To quote you "make an effort".

While it doesn't mentioned mixed percentages, it does state the all-female teams in the very next sentence.
