A significant focus on women in entrepreneurship is highlighted across various events and initiatives. The R2WSV: Innovation with Impact event on April 15 will showcase 20 women tech founders, providing them a platform to pitch their ventures and gain valuable feedback as they prepare for the Web Summit in May. Similarly, the International Women’s Day edition of TechTuesday featured startup pitches from women founders and angel investors, culminating in a cash prize for the best pitch. Furthermore, a recent American Express study noted that nearly 13 million U.S. businesses are owned by women, generating $1.8 trillion annually, indicating a growing trend in female entrepreneurship. The challenges faced by women entrepreneurs, such as barriers to securing business loans, are also shared through personal stories of resilience from leaders in the field.
