Access to capital is one of the largest challenges an entrepreneur can face – especially if they are female, and a founder of color. Despite starting over 30% of businesses, women only receive 5% of small business loans in the US, and just over 2% of venture capital. These statistics are even worse for women of color. Against these odds, women-led businesses - specifically businesses owned by black women and latinx women - are growing at the fastest rate in the nation. We will hear from entrepreneurs, impact investors and foundations engaged on why investing in women, especially women of color, is crucial for our economy.
