Facebook leadership is white and male, and Google can be a sausage fest, too. They're just two of the tech companies struggling with diversity — and a new report in the Harvard Business Review shows they may have more to gain from that diversity than different points of view.

When the publication took a close look at every venture capital firm in the United States — "thousands of venture capitalists and tens of thousands of investments," HBR says — it discovered that VC firms who hired more female partners were notably more profitable than their counterparts.

Here's the money quote, literally:

"Venture capital firms that increased their proportion of female partner hires by 10% saw, on average, a 1.5% spike in overall fund returns each year and had 9.7% more profitable exits (an impressive figure given that only 28.8% of all VC investments have a profitable exit)."

If you remember your statistics class, this is more likely correlation than causation, meaning there could also be another reason that explains both diversity and profits — for instance, perhaps the VC firms that picked women are more open-minded, period, about both investments and hiring.

But companies are fundamentally made of people, so it would make sense that women are driving the profit.

Speaking of open-mindedness, HBR discovered that the VC world is pretty dang insular right now. Only 8 percent of VC investors are women, 2 percent Hispanic, fewer than 1 percent black, and 45 percent of VCs with MBA degrees come from just three business schools (25 percent from Harvard).

And yet, HBR says that the success rate of acquisitions and IPOs was 11.5 percent lower for partners with shared school backgrounds, and 26.4 percent lower for those with shared ethnicity.

You can read the rest at Harvard Business Review.
