Produced by the Enterprise Nation team and community, this free toolkit pulls together tools, tips, contacts and inspiration to support you to thrive as a female founder.
Polly Dhaliwal, COO of Enterprise Nation, says:
"According to the Women and Equalities Committee’s Female entrepreneurship report, 2% of equity investment went to back a female founder – down from 2.5% in 2023 – while all-male teams received over 80% of the venture capital allocated – despite female-led businesses outperforming them.
"From wherever you’re sitting, that’s not OK.
"And that’s one of the reasons Enterprise Nation proudly supports female founders on International Women’s Day and has produced this toolkit aimed at the women who are striving, but often have to swim in the face of a much stronger oncoming current than their male counterparts."
Discover key insights and learn more about the current landscape for female founders, so you can understand how to navigate it and reach your goals.
From communities to join to podcasts to listen to, discover a wide range of carefully selected resources to help you on your business journey.
