For every two female entrepreneurs that succeed at getting investment for their business - there are ninety eight men that secure it. That means that male entrepreneurs are 46 times more likely to access capital to start their company. In January, I began mentoring seven women on the Starting Strong programme - an initiative led by Paula Fitzsimons and supported by Enterprise Ireland and KPMG Ireland Each participant has an extraordinary business with impressive potential for huge export success. We spent the last six months setting goals and objectives to prepare their businesses for scalability. We focused on creating profitable business models, driving new product development, brand building, examining sales and marketing strategies as well exploring funding options. Most of all we were there for each other in the trenches. We laughed until we cried and we cried until we laughed. I couldn’t be prouder of what this bunch of powerhouses have achieved together.
