Session: How to Be a Better Ally for Women Entrepreneurs
Women entrepreneurs face hurdles related to start-up capital, mentorship, bias, sexual harassment, and other factors. The result is a gender gap in entrepreneurship, resulting in fewer jobs, less innovation, and a weaker economy for all of us. Entrepreneurs can address some hurdles on their own, but they also need effective allies. Now is not the time for performative allyship that delivers no real results. Here are the tools to do better. This action plan is based on Susanne’s years spent interviewing 100+ women and nonbinary entrepreneurs for her new book LAUNCHING WHILE FEMALE: Smashing the System That Holds Women Entrepreneurs Back.This recording is not available yet.
