Why Aren't There More Women Startup Founders?

because entrepreneurship is a way of like, you're, you know, it's a risky thing, but because you got the guts for it and you have the motivation for it and the love and the passion, you wanna go and do it. So most women are more of safe because that's our nature to be, you know, to nurture. And so you don't have a lot of female founders out there willing to drop and, you know, take the initiative but there is, it's not saying there isn't, but you would see them maybe more in well-established regions like in the US and maybe in Europe, but in the Middle East, we're getting there. Even the word entrepreneurship is just picking up now. We didn't have a big ecosystem, let's say, in Saudi, but now recently it's the buzzword. Entrepreneurship is the thing to go. And so now we're picking up and we're now finding, yes, there's, of course, there's more dominance for male in this region, but there is, there are women, you know, pushing through, but we would want to see more. And one of the things that would help to see more is that we need to educate about it, because a lot of entrepreneurs go in, we have accelerator programs, we have backing from the government, and they're developing a lot of accelerator programs, incubators programs. So there are a lot of things that the government is doing, But also educating the public and making it, you know, yes, of course, we're not going to go for unicorns and we're not at that stage yet maybe. But at least we have to know, like even working from home and doing things basically from home, that raising that awareness that you can, this is going to benefit you in the long run. And you're going to do something that you love. It's not work that you must do. It's something that you're passionate about. And you can juggle this. Doing it from home, I think that would push more female founders to go into it and, and try it out.
