These are all great action items and I completely agree.
One topic I've heard a lot is the fact that impostor syndrome is often stronger for women. This is impacts their willingness to apply for jobs that list certain qualifications, for example.
I wonder if there are ways to be more outspoken about how little we know as founders and how much we learn long the journey.
Many of the prevailing narratives flex "This is how to do it" more than "I used to have no idea how to do this"
But I agree what you outline is likely most meaningful:
1) Increase women representation in VC
2) Proactively look for women VC cap table participants
