Thank you. That's a very interesting question.
Interestingly, in the United States a female entrepreneur can be at an advantage, because there are very high listing fees that will sometimes be waived by companies such as Walmart. So for a female entrepreneur there are some big advantages.
From the outside, it looks as though there are some funds available and that we get special attention, but when you're the woman trying to actually do it, and you're balancing so much—because being a female entrepreneur is really, I've discovered, quite different from being a male entrepreneur.... It's acceptable for a man to come home at 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, but Mom has to pick up the kids at 4:00 and is talking to her team on the phone, waving her hand in the back of the vehicle to keep her children quiet. We truly have challenges that others don't face. I find that it's a world still unfortunately dominated by men who may not understand the challenges we face. I don't think I would have believed it until I had seen at first hand how challenging it is to access those things that are supposed to be advantageous to female entrepreneurs.
