Future Females
The problem:
- Globally, female entrepreneurs received just 2.5% of total venture capital funding in 2016
- However, companies delivered 63% better return with females in senior leadership positions
- Globally, women own just 1% of the world’s wealth
- In South Africa in 2015 just 6.2% of South African women are involved in entrepreneurship, down from 9% the year before
Our belief:
We believe that to drive change through technology, we cannot have just 50% of the world focused on it.
More focus is needed to encourage and accelerate the success of aspiring and existing female entrepreneurs.
Providing an environment, both physically and emotionally, where women can connect with others and access key resources (mentorship, funding, education) is key to accelerating the rate of female entrepreneurship, in South Africa, Africa and globally.
