Gender Gap in Startups

The gender gap in startups refers to the disparity between male and female entrepreneurs in areas like funding, leadership roles, and business ownership. Women often face challenges such as limited access to capital, fewer networking opportunities, and societal biases that can hinder their ability to start and grow businesses. This gap results in fewer female-led startups receiving investment compared to their male counterparts, impacting innovation and economic growth. Addressing the gender gap involves promoting equal opportunities, supporting women entrepreneurs, and fostering an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem.
