A new report from UBS Global Wealth Management reveals a shocking funding gap between investors and female entrepreneurs. Around the world, they receive less funding than their male counterparts and the reality is even more pronounced for women of colour and those in developing countries. As a result of the funding discrepancy, female entrepreneurs lack equal opportunities to innovate and build successful companies that can contribute to the global economy. This is despite the fact that those who do receive funding develop businesses that perform as well – or better – than their male counterparts.
