Women Founder Stories

Did you know that fewer than 2% of women owned business earn $1 million or more. Or that female investors in the U.S. account for just 16.1% of VC decision-makers and that 95.5% of VC firms have a majority male population of decision-makers. At least the number of women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies finally surpassed the 10% mark (10.1%) after being stuck between 8% and 9% for years. But is that a figure really worth celebrating?
It's no secret that women face challenges in the business world that stem from hundreds of years of imbalanced gender dynamics.
But times, they are a changin'. As part of our diverse founders series. HubSpot for Startups is proud to present our Women Founders Stories Hub. Here you will be able to find quick and easy access to the growing library of stories we're telling about our women partners and customers. Even though we're launching it during International Women's month, it will continue to grow and expand well beyond March.
And being true to the name of the month, the stories we're telling are truly international. We have stories from the U.S., Europe, South America, and Asia to share. So, bookmark this site. Better yet, sign up below and be notified as new content is added.
