Well done, Sascha !  It’s fantastic to see campaigns like Female Founders Rise gaining real momentum. "If women started and scaled businesses at the same pace as men, the UK economy could see a boost of £250 billion" – that’s equivalent to half of London’s GDP or three times that of Wales !   From a financial standpoint, supporting female founders is clearly a smart move. According to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) research, women-led startups deliver 78 cents per dollar of funding, compared to 31 cents for those led by men.  As we bet big on Britain, as highlighted by the Prime Minister in his speech at today’s #internationalinvestmentsummit, we all recognise the need to create the right conditions for growth and stability. Now seems like the perfect moment to champion women’s equality, following the Chancellor’s backing of the Invest in Women Taskforce.   It’s time to move the needle and unleash the incredible economic potential of female founders !   Debbie Wosskow, OBE Hannah Bernard OBE, Russ Shaw CBE, Sarah Luxford, Nikki Watkins, Suki Fuller, Brandeis Marshall, PhD, @tlawomenintech

Great to be involved in the Buy Women Built thriving community of female founders sharing resources and knowledge. “Our story started with a tweet: “Not everyone can invest in female founders. Not everyone can mentor female founders, but we can all buy from them.” It was so simple and powerful that it got us thinking: how can we mobilise the enormous power of consumers to support Britain’s amazing women entrepreneurs? Buy Women Built isn’t just about shining a light on the entrepreneurs of today. It’s also about inspiring the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. You can’t be what you can’t see. Making women built brands more visible not only lifts up existing entrepreneurs but also allows the next generation of girls to dream bigger. And the bigger girls dream, the stronger and fairer our economy will be.” - Buy Women Built https://lnkd.in/e7ZjDjmA #buywomenbuilt #femalefounders

October is National Women's Small Business Month, and it’s a time to recognize the incredible impact women-owned businesses are having on our economy. With over 11 million women entrepreneurs in the United States, these businesses are not just growing—they're shaping industries, creating jobs, and driving innovation. But there’s still work to do. Women entrepreneurs often face unique challenges, from accessing funding to finding mentors, and that’s why it’s so important to draw attention to their success and support their growth. When we invest in women-owned businesses, we’re not just helping individual businesses thrive—we’re empowering communities and future generations of female leaders. There’s never been a better time to get involved. Whether it’s supporting a local woman-owned business, mentoring a female entrepreneur, or simply spreading the word, we all have a role to play in lifting up these businesses. Let’s celebrate the trailblazing women who are leading the way. Tag some women-owned businesses below!

Success often breeds success–but triumphs also arise out of necessity.
