The UK may be the start-up capital of Europe, but not when it comes to women. Currently, just 19.1% of active UK companies are female-led.
Sharmadean Reid, an award-winning entrepreneur, founder of Stack World, and AXA Startup Angel judge, joins us to discuss the obstacles faced by female entrepreneurs in the UK.
'Hustling and entrepreneurship come naturally to women'
Sharmadean told us women don't have issues starting businesses; they have issues growing them, due to a lack of funding.
Sharmadean shares insights on the importance of mentorship and advice for those starting and scaling businesses.
Plus, she also discusses the current economic climate and how it's leaving business owners feeling "hopeless".
