Women Founders - Obstacle #2 - Funding Sources and Venture Capital

WeROC - Women Founders Showcase - Early Bird Tickets Available until August 31, 2024

The startup world has become a beacon of innovation, offering opportunities for individuals to turn their groundbreaking ideas into reality. But while startups have created a level playing field for many aspiring entrepreneurs, it’s no secret that women face numerous hurdles on their path to success. From securing funding to finding mentorship, the challenges are real and persistent.

One of the most significant challenges women entrepreneurs face is accessing funding sources and venture capital. Studies consistently show that female entrepreneurs receive significantly less funding than their male counterparts. This disparity can be attributed to various factors, including gender bias, lack of diversity among investment decision-makers, and conservative investment approaches.

Women should leverage initiatives designed to address this challenge, such as women-centric angel investor networks, crowdfunding platforms, and grants specifically for female entrepreneurs. Governments and organizations worldwide recognize the importance of supporting women-led startups and are actively working to bridge the funding gap.

At Kinect Capital, we’re committed to breaking down these barriers and fostering an ecosystem where everyone can thrive. Kinect Capital is thrilled to announce the Annual WeROC - Women Founder Showcase event, scheduled for October 4, 20244. This year’s theme, “Women at the Helm,” will showcase women founders and their businesses and highlight their remarkable achievements and contributions to the startup ecosystem. The event will also include powerful keynotes and panel discussions.
