As of right now, it seems that there is very little formal information about Trump's policies on VC. The Whitehouse.gov website doesn't mention it and none of his executive orders pertain to VC or women directly.
==Assorted Sourceson Women in VC=='''The first comprehensive study on women in venture capital and their impact on female founders''': https://techcrunch.com/2016/04/19/the-first-comprehensive-study-on-women-in-venture-capital/*This report has some really great data on women in VC. Some examples:**only 7% of partners at top 100 venture firms are women**Of the top 100 VC firms in the US, only 10 of them have more than one woman as an investing partner. On top of this, only 38 percent of the top 100 firms have at least one female partner. '''Gender, Leadership and Venture Capital: Measuring Women's Leadership in VC Firm Portfolios''': https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2851969*"We find a clear positive correlation suggesting that if women are represented in leadership in VC portfolio companies, they are likely to do so in leadership positions in the executive team as opposed to as company founders or managers.*"The low levels of women inleadership positions of VC funded companies illustrates that prevailing gendered stereotypes and ideals impede women’s acceptance as company founders, managers and executives. This situation may be rectified by providing transparency of the gendered nature of VC firm portfolios to potential investors" '''VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTING: ARE WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS PERCEIVED AS RISKIER INVESTMENTS?''': http://digitalknowledge.babson.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3166&context=fer*This research from 2015 found that higher-profile venture capital firms tend to invest more in female entrepreneurs*"Because women entrepreneurs do not conform to the “role” of the entrepreneur inthe high growth venture, role incongruity may lead to greater perceived risk on the part of venturecapital investors (Orser, Riding & Manley, 2006; Brush, et al, 2002)"*higher status firms were more likely to invest in companies with women on the teamor women CEOs, these firms appear to mitigate this risk through control mechanisms like havingmore co- investors and less frequently investing in seed or early stage deals ==Sources on Trump and VC==
