Italy and the United States have the highest share of start-ups with at least one female founder (i.e. 17% and 16%, respectively). Differences between gender in the probability to get any funding is mostly present in Europe where companies with at least one female founder are less likely to get funding by more than 10%. In the United States the difference is smaller and only marginally significant while in Asia no difference is found. However, for those that receive funding the gender gap in funding amount is similar for Europe and the United States.
