☆ Women-led venture capital funds are helping drive increase in funding for women-owned startups
  + stars: | 2024-03-05 | by ( Stephanie Dhue Sharon Epperson | Stephanie Dhue | Stephanie-Dhue | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Despite a challenging fundraising environment, women-led venture capital funds made gains in 2023. According to research by Venture Capital Journal, women-led funds' share of total fundraising increased to about 3% of the $107 billion raised last year by venture funds worldwide, up from less than 2% of the 2022 total. While it's a small fraction of the total pool, venture capital funding in the U.S. for companies founded by women has been trending up in recent years. The upswing has had some help from the creation of incubators for women founders, more new companies founded by women and more venture capital funds focused on underrepresented founders. Portfolia creates and manages about 16 venture funds designed for individual investors who want to invest in a portfolio of mostly women-led startups and want to learn more about venture investing.

☆ Why flu season is so bad this year

"I'm scared about what's going to happen this flu season because I don't think we've ever seen a coalition of multiple viruses kind of manifesting in this way before," said Dr. Elizabeth Clayborne, an emergency medicine doctor and associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. If it seems like everyone around you is getting sick, you're not imagining it. The flu season is hitting the United States unusually early and much harder than it usually does. But now that much of America has abandoned preventive measures such as masking, more people are getting sick with seasonal illnesses. Just like RSV, cases of flu started surging earlier this year, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting at least 1,600,000 cases, 13,000 hospitalizations and 730 deaths as of Oct. 29, which is high for this early in a typical flu season.

Keeping a close eye on your credit score and credit reports, whether you get them for free or pay for them, are key to staying on sound financial footing.
