The conclusion is pretty clear and damning for Nordic countries: for WHATEVER reasons women don't get funding.
You can complain that the cause is not fully explained by these statistics. But the conclusion is pretty clear.
Btw, the article does try to explain the numbers more:
> All male teams made up 83% of the startups but they raised 93% of total funding, which means that they raised larger sums.
> For all-female teams, the opposite was true. On top of the female-founded startups finding it difficult to raise any money at all, the 6% of startups that did, only received 1.3% of the funding.
I only skimmed the article. I'm not sure if these numbers show how many women founders got NO funding. I think it's common sense that women founders are very rare. But I don't see how you can take consolation in this explanation.
