Women are helping to drive the economic recovery, creating jobs at a time when we need them most.
But the needs of women entrepreneurs are often overlooked by policymakers and their stories are left untold in the media.
Even though women have fewer role models, women-owned businesses in the U.S. are growing faster than the national average. Just think what public validation could do for us and how this could help overcome the huge funding gap. The fact is that women seeking first-year financing to get a business off the ground receive about 80 percent less capital than men.
