Only 15% of businesses in the U.K. are female founded 😱 a steep decline and the lowest that figure’s been since before the pandemic. Up to £250 billion of new value could be added to the UK economy if women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as men. And in the UK, the insolvency rate is 70% higher in male-run companies! By supporting female founders, you’re not only helping women succeed – you’re also contributing to economic growth. The potential economic benefits of empowering female entrepreneurs, calls for action to level the playing field. That’s why I’m sharing the campaign YOUVE GOT WHAT IT TAKES launched by Female Founders Rise and YeahNice. I want my daughter and yours to have opportunities in their futures. #womeninbusiness #femalefounded #femalefounders #youvegotwhatittakes

You’d be on my funding list for sure! I do have a question. How do we get more females on the entrepreneurial journey to create the momentum currently enjoyed by the men. And secondly. Do you think the smaller numbers for female founder investment is based on confidence of the individual?Because if so that is addressable. #curious as >50% of my clients are succesful motivated women

This is such a great campaign. I helped them out with a bit of the copy for it and was staggered by some of these figures. I genuinely had no idea how few businesses are female founded. So much work to do, but with groups/movements like this the positivity is so contagious, it feels like change really can happen.
Only 15%!? That's shocking! Will defo be having a look at this campaign!
It's always a privilege to support Female Founders in their business journey. I am always blown away by their ability to juggle all that they have in life as well as a business.
