Female Founders Are Being Denied Critical Resources to Launch and Grow Small Businesses

Despite their contributions, female founders received only 16 percent of small business bank loans and 3 percent of venture capital. On average, they received smaller investments and less favorable terms than men. My Founder Story is on a mission to disrupt the status quo.

Female Founders Fueled by Purpose Have a Distinct Advantage

Women who confidently communicate their business purpose and impact are more likely to receive funding and other critical resources to ensure success. My Founder Story provides tools and guidance for female founders like you to clarify and communicate your purpose with confidence.
