Women-owned businesses constitute nearly 42% of US businesses, proving their significance in the economy. A 2019 survey found they tend to be better financial investments compared to male-run businesses, yet still, women face considerable hurdles in entrepreneurship. They receive only a small fraction of venture capital, limiting their growth potential. Lack of overconfidence further impedes their ability to start successful businesses. While women companies prove their worth, systemic support remains insufficient, highlighting the need to address funding disparities, especially in light of upcoming initiatives like International Women’s Day 2025.
"Women-owned businesses are better financial investments, generating more revenue per capital invested compared to those founded by men, yet continue to receive substantially less funding."
"Inadequate funding is a major barrier for women entrepreneurs, with only 2.2% of venture capital directed to women-owned startups, despite total investments reaching $130 billion."
