Women Are Better at Crowdfunding Than Men

A new report from Pricewaterhouse shows that women across the world consistently outperformed men on funding campaigns: Globally, females were 32% more successful than males in reaching their funding targets; in Asia, women achieved twice as much success as men.

With a funding gap estimated at $300 billion for female-owned small businesses worldwide, access to finance for women entrepreneurs still has a long way to go. Supporting women-led ventures would not only deliver higher returns for investors but also help to boost economic growth and job creation, according to the study. Women were more successful crowdfunding across industries, raising on average more money than men did in most sectors aside from enterprise, retail and consumer goods.
