October marks Women's Small Business Month, a time to recognize the incredible contributions women entrepreneurs make to the economy. According to the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), women-owned businesses account for 42% of all businesses in the United States, generating $1.9 trillion in annual revenue. At HatchEcom, we are proud to honor these trailblazers, including the talented women who make up over half of our team.
As we celebrate, it's also important to acknowledge the unique challenges women business owners face, especially in a competitive market like the United States. A report by the World Economic Forum, highlights that women entrepreneurs often encounter obstacles such as limited access to funding, networking opportunities, and mentorship. These challenges can slow business growth and hinder success.
Securing funding is a major hurdle for many women entrepreneurs. Research shows that women-owned businesses receive just 2.3% of venture capital funding, despite their significant contributions to the economy. This lack of access to capital can limit a business's ability to scale and compete in the market.
Furthermore, women entrepreneurs often struggle with balancing their professional and personal lives. The pressure to "do it all" can lead to burnout and negatively impact both their businesses and personal well-being.
At HatchEcom, we understand these challenges and are dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs overcome them. Our team of experts leverages their extensive experience in Product, Brand, Marketplace Growth, and AI & eCom Tech to develop tailored solutions that drive business growth.
