The Problem: Why Female Business Owners Face Different Challenges

The playing field isn't level—but we're here to change that

The Stark Reality

2%

Of venture capital funding goes to female-founded companies

Despite women starting businesses at 2X the rate of men

$1M

Less funding on average compared to male-founded companies

Even when they pitch the same business

35%

Higher revenue growth for female-led companies

Yet they receive less than 3% of all VC funding

Top Challenges Female Business Owners Struggle With

1. Access to Capital & Networks

97% of VC funding goes to male founders. Women lack access to the "boys' club" networks where deals happen.

2. Unconscious Bias in Pitching

Female founders are asked prevention questions while male founders get promotion questions—leading to 40% less funding.

3. Lack of Female Role Models & Mentors

Only 12% of VC partners are women. Female founders lack mentors who understand their unique challenges.

4. Imposter Syndrome & Confidence Gap

Women apply for funding when they meet 100% of criteria; men apply at 60%. This confidence gap costs millions.

5. Work-Life Integration Pressure

Female founders face disproportionate caregiving responsibilities while building businesses—leading to burnout.

6. Limited Access to Strategic Partnerships

Male-dominated industries make it harder for women to secure partnerships, suppliers, and distribution channels.

The Data: Why Female Founders Should Be Funded
