Making Herstory: Celebrating Women's History Month With Dwen
Dell Technologies News, Monday, March 25th, 2024
This Women's History Month, we're reviewing strides made in female entrepreneurship and celebrating DWEN's 100,000-member milestone.
As we conclude Women's History Month, it's worth reflecting on the progress of-and remaining challenges to-female entrepreneurship. One third of businesses worldwide and 42% of all U.S. businesses are owned by women.
About half of all start-ups in the U.S. are founded by women, and the number of women-owned businesses in the U.S. has increased by 114% over the past two decades. The biggest increase was seen between 2019 and 2021, as experts believe the pandemic drove more women to create small startups.
