And the list doesn't seem to end.
These female tech entrepreneurs have not only blazed new trails, but their startups have inspired and motivated many other women and aspiring people around them to pursue the careers of their choice.
According to figures shared by Forbes, approximately ten and a half million women in America run their own businesses. The report further stated that they add about $3 trillion to the economy, giving jobs to about twenty-three million people.
And it's not just the economy that benefits from their hard work and subsequent accomplishments. Let's take a look at a few points that address the challenges female entrepreneurs face and how they become silent motivators in the process.
A woman as an entrepreneur brings change in her family and in society. Her efforts inspire others around her to take the first step, breaking the taboo that dictates entrepreneurship as a male activity.
In addition, a large part of their income is reinvested in the economy in the form of nutrition, health and education. This is especially true for a woman who likes to devote much of her time to human resources.
When a woman entrepreneur begins her journey, she has to face many obstacles. These barriers ultimately prevent many from trying to work in their area of expertise.
However, those who succeed eventually manage to overcome this male-dominated world of business (perception) and thus become an inspiration to many around. In addition, the ability to reconcile work and family life puts women far ahead of male entrepreneurs.
Most of you may agree that a woman has been in charge of the national financial sector for a long time. This directly implies that they handle things better than men; especially monetary. With someone taking the lead, other women around realize their potential, giving them wings to fly.

A report indicates that women entrepreneurs start their start-ups with only half the capital of male entrepreneurs. Additionally, they are only one-third as likely to access equity financing through venture capital or angel investments.
Knowing this, we can regard successful female entrepreneurs with even more respect, as they are able to break through these obstacles and succeed regardless.

Regardless of what you do and what stream you belong to, you always need someone to guide you or bring out the best in you. However, it has been observed that female entrepreneurs face a distinct lack of mentorship.
Due to this lack, women entrepreneurs find different avenues to learn. An extra mile to travel, they have to learn and perform many actions and steps on their own while growing their business. Mistakes, while very instructive, of course take time and delay expected production.
In one of its reports, the INC shares that 48% of women entrepreneurs do not have a support network. Despite a massive increase in the number of women entrepreneurs recently, to some extent the field is still led by the big guys.
Unfortunately, there are still people who perceive technology and entrepreneurship as a masculine province. The same group of people ultimately creates a dearth of support network for a female tech entrepreneur. This results in a difficult time for women trying to learn, understand and complete the whole business process.
When a woman reaches the pinnacle of tech entrepreneurship, she has undoubtedly come a long way with many hurdles and hurdles. However, once she hits the mark, she not only succeeds in achieving her goals, but also paves the way for many others to try their expertise. She not only creates a business, but she shapes her society and her family.
