Raising the Floor
Over 40% of the Rising Star East of England entrants were headed up by female founders. An amazing figure and one which made for a refreshing change. It is clear that female founders and women in tech are not only breaking through the ceiling, but they are also raising the floor. Let’s change the woefully low investment figures for female entrepreneurism and get it beyond the 14% seen in 2022. A positive uplift from the 7% seen over the previous 10 years but a long way to go to level the field.
