Female Internet Hero and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman is becoming a VC at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Fortune reported Tuesday that Whitman will be joining the venture capital firm as a strategic advisor to help pinpoint investments and advise startups.
That?s good news: VC?s with a woman in the team, invest in more female startups, than VC?s without a woman as partner.
Meg Whitman is already one of the notable female investors.
Kleiner Perkins has invested in Twitter, Groupon and Spotify, but also in Google and Amazon.
This is what they say about their success:�
