Eight female startup founders in North America reported sexual harassment by male investors during fundraising in a 2025 survey.
A 2025 survey of 180 early-stage female founders in North America found that eight experienced sexual harassment from male investors during fundraising, including unwanted advances, demeaning remarks, and explicit propositions.
Despite reforms since the #MeToo movement, such as banning forced arbitration, harassment remains a persistent barrier in a male-dominated venture capital system where women receive a shrinking share of funding.
Founders reported emotional toll and distrust in the process, with some using tactics like fake wedding rings to deter advances.
