We were lucky because we had friends and family who supported us in a financial way to launch our business. That was exceptionally wonderful but it is not necessarily the typical path. I think access to capital is a critical issue for business in general, but for women in particular. It's not a level playing field. It is way harder for a woman in business to access capital; that's just a plain reality. A lot more work needs to be done there. To me that's a huge challenge. It's easier now if you look at it compared to when we launched in 1991. There weren't things like crowdsource funding and Kickstarter, so you couldn't try your idea out and see if it would work. Crowdsource funding is amazing for small business. It's a great way to try your idea out.
I also think that women approach business differently. You know that saying that if Lehman brothers were Lehman sisters, the outcome might have been different. I think there's some truth to that. It's not that we're risk averse; I think we just have a different approach to business. If you look at now in terms of benefit corporations and conscious capitalism, the sort of caring movement that's moving forward, that's a really exciting time, in my view, for women, because it offers us an opportunity to bring our full selves to entrepreneurship and really shape how business is done differently going forward.
