Stereotypical belief in the aggressiveness of men

Men are still perceived to be the superior sex, strong, daring and bold. Investors are likely to go with the word of a man than a woman. They tend to believe that men are more reliable when it comes to serious issues like business. Women are still a way long behind when it comes to firmness and aggressiveness at work.

Suitable for stay-at-home role

Even after having many leading women entrepreneurs, the notion that women are best at home still persists. Family and kids sounds more justified with women than raising capital. The underpinning of such idea is still deeply rooted in the minds of investors today.

Still the Fairer Sex

No doubt today women have proved their capability in almost all the arenas but they are still expected to be the fairer sex. The fact that women are entering the male domain sounds awkward and even threatening to men. Therefore, a matter like fund raising is considered to be more reliable and suitable with men.
