| Field Paper Abstract | Before | After We study gender and race in high-impact entrepreneurship using a tightly controlled randomized field experiment. We sent out 80,000 pitch emails introducing promising but fictitious start-ups to 28,000 venture capitalists and angels. Each email was sent by a fictitious entrepreneur with a randomly selected gender (male or female) and race (Asian or White). Female entrepreneurs received a 9\% higher rate of interested replies than male entrepreneurs pitching identical projects and Asian entrepreneurs received a 6\% higher rate than their White counterparts. We find no indication that investors show bias against Asians or females when evaluating unsolicited pitch emails. Our results suggest that investors do not discriminate against female or Asian entrepreneurs when initially evaluating unsolicited pitches. |
