Here are five global initiatives helping female entrepreneurs raise capital and realise their dreams
It can sometimes be too easy to get bogged down in negative news — especially when you feel like things can’t change for the better quickly enough!
Recently, I’ve written about the gender funding gap and how hard it can be for female entrepreneurs and women-led businesses to get the capital they need to start, grow and scale.
The situation in regards to funding is best demonstrated by the fact that, according to PitchBook data, in 2017 just 2.2% of all venture capital in the US went to companies founded solely by women. The situation is undoubtedly not too different globally. For female entrepreneurs, this funding gap and the difficulties women face in raising capital through other means such as banks can be disheartening.
However, amid the bleak stats, there are glimmers of hope which indicate that things might be improving.
