Term Sheet — Monday, April 4

• One year post-Pao: Fewer than 6% of all decision-makers at U.S. venture capital firms are women, according to new data compiled by Fortune. It is a pathetic figure, but also a slight improvement over the last time we ran the numbers.

The data covers all U.S.-based firms that have raised at least one fund of $100 million or more since the beginning of 2011, with analysis focused on each firm’s top-layer of investment professional (it’s a bit tricky, since the terminology is not uniform across the industry). That worked out to 282 firms that had raised over $130 million since 2011, with 906 “decision-makers.” Of those, just 52 were women. Please go here to read the full post.

• Meet your mark: James McIntyre, a managing director with Louis Bacon's hedge fund Moore Capital Management, was the man duped by former Park Hill Group executive Andrew Caspersen, according to the New York Times.

You might recall that neither the state nor federal fraud complaints against Caspersen identified the individual who convinced a nonprofit foundation to invest $25 million into an alleged front for Caspersen's personal brokerage account — a scheme in which the individual also lost $400,000. But it seems to be McIntyre, who happens to be one of Caspersen's former Princeton classmates. It is unclear if the Princeton relationship played a role, either in the initial introduction of in McIntyre's apparent willingness to overlook some pretty basic due diligence.

• Soup scoop: My Fortune colleague Beth Kowitt has learned that Sam Kass, the former White House chef who became a key advisor to Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign, is now a partner with Campbell Soup Co.-backed Acre Venture Partners. Read more.

• Drought relief? BATS Global Markets is set to be the first IPO of Q2 and, depending on your definitions, the year's first tech IPO. As you can see in the news section below, it set offering terms this morning, which means an actual listing should come within the next few weeks. Only thing is, this is more of an SPO [second public offering] than and IPO. You might recall that BATS priced its offering in 2012, but then canceled the deal due to a subsequent software glitch that decimated its share value.

• Gametime: Out of more than 1,400 entries, we're down to just three possible winners for our annual March Madness Extravaganza (yeah, I said three). If Villanova wins, then it goes to Jon Curtis. If UNC takes the crown, then we have a tie between Paul Tump and a user going by Bllgme82. Trouble is, I don't know who any of you are. So send me an email if you'd like to claim your prize...
