New research by Carta has found a new side to the gender pay gap: the equity gap. Carta conducted an extensive study of over 180,000 employees at 6,000 companies, which had a combined total wealth of $45 billion in equity value. In their study, they found that female founders own 39 cents to every dollar male founders own. For female employees who hold equity at their place of business, the value of that equity was worth 47 cents to every dollar male holders own.
