This study focuses on the period around the initiation of the leading reward-based crowdfundingmarket – Kickstarter, and documents the behavior of male and female entrepreneurs in the processof raising pre-seed capital. We find that women are concentrated in stereotyped sectors both asentrepreneurs and as backers. We also find that women enjoy higher rates of success than men do, even after controlling for sectors and funding goal, and that backers of both genders have atendency to contribute to entrepreneurs of their own gender. We conducted a survey of Kickstarterbackers and found evidence of taste-based discrimination by male backers
