Women Entrepreneurs Underfunded, Oxford Steps In
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
Despite womens achievements in every field, the finance industry underfunds female entrepreneurs, allocating just 2.1% of global venture capital in 2023. This disparity persists since 2008, with male-led businesses in Europe receiving ten times more funding than women-led ones. Studies show women-led companies deliver over 10% more cumulative revenue, yet the finance world may hold outdated views. Meanwhile, women lead more mission-driven businesses, as seen with Oprah Winfrey and Melanie Perkins of Canva. In response, Oxfords business school partners with Unlock Her Future prize, offering $100,000 to female founders, along with mentorship and training, challenging the industry to fully back women-led ventures.
