NEW DELHI -- Women account for 17.4% of all decision-makers at venture investors headquartered in Southeast Asia, finds the latest report by DealStreetAsia's Data Vantage.

Moreover, about 67% of Southeast Asian investors still don't have a woman in an investment decision-making role, according to Women in SE Asia's VC Ecosystem 2023. While a cause for concern, the figure is an improvement from 2022, when about 77% of investors lacked a single female check writer.
