Yesterday — International Women’s Day🌺 is a great moment to talk not only about the holiday, but about real changes happening in business.
📊 Today, women are starting companies faster than ever before. In 2024, *49%* of all new businesses worldwide were founded by women — one of the highest levels in recent years.

Another interesting trend:
Today, women’s empowerment is no longer just a social topic. It is an economic trend shaping the future of startups💙⭐️

📊 Today, women are starting companies faster than ever before. In 2024, *49%* of all new businesses worldwide were founded by women — one of the highest levels in recent years.
But there is still a paradox:
startups with women founders receive only around 2–3% of global venture capital funding.
Despite this, some of the most powerful startup stories emerge in exactly these conditions.
One of them is the story of Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of Bumble.
After leaving Tinder and going through a difficult legal conflict, she decided to build a dating platform where WOMEN make the first move. Many investors initially thought the idea was strange and claimed it “went against social norms”.

And in 2021, Bumble went public, making Whitney the youngest self-made female billionaire to take a company to an IPO.
💡 There’s an important lesson here for entrepreneurs:
Sometimes the ideas that seem “too unconventional” are the ones that change entire industries.
Another interesting trend:
Women founders are more likely to create businesses with social impact and sustainable models.
Today, women’s empowerment is no longer just a social topic. It is an economic trend shaping the future of startups💙⭐️
