Female Founders: Why There Aren’t Enough & What We Can Do About It

Statistics show that by the time most women gain enough experience, sufficiently develop their expertise or their networks, they tend to reach a family-planning milestone in their personal lives.

This, combined with the fact that women still carry most of the child-rearing responsibilities in traditional family settings around the globe, correlates with the low number of female founders in the business world.

Andrea Ippolito, CEO & Founder of SimpliFed, joins us today to look deeper into this and discuss:

• What other factors might be holding women back from starting their own companies
• Her next-level Crunchbase articles and advice on approaching parental leave for all founders
• The ups and downs of her unique journey as a female founder
• The solution-oriented approach she’s taking with Women Entrepreneurs Cornell

Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast:

• Andrea’s first article on Crunchbase
• Andrea’s follow-up article
