    This data in this article is useless.

    One of the key finding is that women tend to close their businesses because they have challenges in getting funding.

    Pretty sure that's true of men as well.

    estimates are less than 6% of all US Venture funded businesses are women led- The Diana Project.org.

    Without a comparison to the % of women who ask for capital, this number is meaningless. For all I know, >90% of all women who ask for capital might get it. The article doesn't say.
