Resumo(s)
This study examines whether female founders receive the same valuations as their male
counterparts after securing comparable funding. While previous research has extensively
investigated the gender funding gap, little research has examined valuations after female founders
gain investors' trust. The results show that female founders receive lower valuations, driven by
unfavorable investor perceptions. The study has also investigated if the industry choice or firm
performance of female founded start-ups can explain the discrepancy between gender. However,
the results do not align with previous literature and cannot serve as potential explanations for the
gender valuation gap.
