Moderated by Diana Ransom, executive editor, Inc.
Five years since lockdowns drove an estimated two million women out of the workforce, female entrepreneurship in the U.S. has skyrocketed, with women starting businesses at nearly twice the rate of men between 2019 and 2023. The trend is happening globally as well. And women are not just starting more companies – they’re growing their revenue and head count faster, too. In this lively panel conversation, a group of female founders will discuss what’s changed, what’s driving the trend, and how they would like to shape and change the conversation about founder culture in the years ahead.
