In 2022, female entrepreneurs in the UK received less than a 2 per cent share of the multi-billion-pound venture capital funding. This is despite, according to the Kauffman Foundation, women-led businesses (when they are venture backed) generate 12 per cent higher revenue than startups run by men.

The Women's Growth Task Force, led by the founder of Starling Bank, Anne Boden, is working towards opening doors for women entrepreneurs to access funding in parity with their male counterparts. I recently attended an investment readiness programme in Northallerton, hosted by Lifted Ventures led by Jordan Dargue, and funded by the North Yorkshire Growth Hub.

I am proud to have founded my public relations firm, Cause UK, 15 years ago, with my sister Ann. It hasn’t been easy. No business is, but the systematic and casual sexism and discrimination makes it harder.
