Happy Women’s Entrepreneurship Day I bet you woke up today and there were no cupcakes, no balloons, no one celebrating you as a female entrepreneur. And I bet most people didn’t even realise today is Women’s Entrepreneurship Day. But I do. And I see you. The world isn’t built to support women entrepreneurs—only 2.1% of venture capital funding goes to female-founded companies. Yet, here you are, innovating, building, and breaking ceilings. To the trailblazers like Melanie Perkins (Canva), Sara Blakely (Spanx), Melinda Gates (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), Whitney Wolfe Herd (Bumble), and Grace Beverley (Tala) - thank you for showing us what’s possible. Your impact has been monumental, even as a minority in the space. To every woman founder: You’re seen. You’re supported. You’re making waves. It may not feel like it yet, but you’re changing the game. Let’s celebrate and lift each other up. Feel free to tag a female entrepreneur who inspires you today! #WomensEntrepreneurshipDay #FemaleFounders #WomenInBusiness #SupportingWomenInBusiness #BreakingBarriers
