Think Ahead Podcast: Female entrepreneurs breaking barriers

In this episode of the Think Ahead podcast, we explore UK growth trends, indicating a yearly rise in female entrepreneurs. Yet, despite progress, a significant gender gap persists, with only 6% of UK businesswomen compared to 15% of men running their own ventures.
Beyond challenges like funding shortages and pandemic aftermaths, what other barriers hinder female entrepreneurs' advancement? Recognizing these obstacles is vital for achieving breakthrough growth and balancing the scales.
Evidence suggests that female entrepreneurs face more significant challenges than their male counterparts. Shedding light on these hurdles is the first step toward empowering women to confront them directly. Join leading faculty from London Business School and hear firsthand experiences from a prominent CEO as we collaborate to pave the way for success. Together, we can build a vibrant, resilient economy with women at the forefront.
