💥Only 20% of tech jobs at major companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft are held by women 💥Women make up only 5% of leadership positions in the tech industry. 💥Women in tech earn 85 cents for every dollar earned by men in similar roles We could go on, but you get the point. That’s why we are so excited to be teaming up with Female Startup Club to amplify a group of founders leading the way in tech. These women exemplify exactly what is possible when women lead: social impact, inclusive workplace cultures, above-average profitability, job creation and to put it simply, awesome products. 🌟 Aasiyah Abdulsalam-Abdulsalam, Founder of The Renatural - the future of wigs.

“A company founded by men, led by men and funded by men became the first WOMEN’s health app to achieve Unicorn status.” 🦄 It’s no secret that women are on the back-foot when it comes to receiving VC funding – with less than 2% of EU funding going to Female founders in 2023. There has been a lot of backlash around Flo’s Unicorn Series C in the media – given they are the first EU fem-tech unicorn, but are led by a male leadership team…🙈 Some have seen this as a story of the harsh reality of the business world, a real-world example of how only men can succeed in an Entrepreneurial space. Although, some have seen this as a mark to be celebrated. This is a huge signal that there is a real appetite and space for FemTech’s in the market. Not to say that challenges faced by women are any less – but a win is a win, if it will result in funding being given into Women’s health. We’re on the fence. What do you recon? 🤔 🔗 Full link below. #HR #People #Talent

The Seekhr team were really excited to dive into the inaugural 100 Women Tech Founders to Watch report that was published by the Founders Forum Group... The report shines a light on the incredible potential and impact of women in tech, despite the challenges they continue to face. Women entrepreneurs control over $30 trillion in consumer spending globally (85% of the total consumer spending in the U.S.), yet women-led startups still struggle to secure funding—only 10% of VC funding in Europe, and just 2% in the U.S., which is pretty staggering. But this report isn't just about the challenges. It's about the amazing women who are defying the odds. With over $1.1 billion raised between them, these founders are breaking boundaries and showing the immense value that diverse leadership brings to the tech world. From AI to climate tech, femtech to spacetech, these women are leading the charge in industries across the globe. We are incredibly proud to be female founded here at Seekhr, and will continue to shout about how we can do better!
