Meet women who have innovated in entrepreneurship and are prominent founders and / or CEOs
According to data from the Nubank Data study in collaboration with Sebrae and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), in the first seven months of 2021, individual Micro-enterprises with men in the lead had an average revenue 23% higher than those led by women.
But they wouldn’t even need official data to know that women face enormous difficulties in the world of entrepreneurship. And if we turn our attention to startups, the scenario is even more difficult. However, they are there, breaking down barriers and teaching entrepreneurship lessons.
Distrito Female Founders Report with Endeavor and B2Mamy revealed that in 2020 startups founded exclusively by women received only 0.04% of the total raised in contributions.
With the pandemic, the picture of inequality has deepened and the number of female entrepreneurs has fallen by 50% more than men, according to a Nubank survey.
Given this situation, we list 8 inspiring women who have innovated in entrepreneurship and are founders and / or CEOs of great national importance.
