Google’s third demo day for entrepreneurs focussed exclusively on women. 500 applications were narrowed down to the final 11 start-ups that presented during the event in San Francisco. Currently, only 3% of venture capital funding goes to companies with a female CEO. Grove's team decided to try and improve those numbers with a women-focused demo day. This is an increase of just 1% since 1999. The women who took part in this year’s Demo Day are all from Silicon Valley.
