In order to empower the next generation of women leaders, we need to show them what’s possible, and we can do that by leading by example. Not to mention, according to the non-profit 50/50 Women on Boards companies with gender-balanced and diverse boards are more profitable and productive, and the workforce is better engaged. Nonetheless in 2021, women-founded start-ups received just 2.3% of all venture funding, showing that women leadership is still not being valued despite the evident benefits of having women in charge. If we want to support the economy, support our communities, and help shape the world for the better, we need diversity across our corporate leadership. Having more women founders in the mix, will help to level the playing ground, and introduce new perspectives, findings, and ideas that appeal to a broader demographic than what’s been at play.
