In today's dynamic business landscape, raising capital is often the key to unlocking growth and innovation. Yet, for many women entrepreneurs, accessing funding remains a significant challenge. Recognizing this disparity, BAAB Media Group is proud to unveil its latest initiative, #GirlsWantFunds, dedicated to empowering women to raise capital in the energy, fintech, digital, and construction sectors.



The Funding Gender Gap:


Statistics paint a stark picture of the challenges facing women-owned businesses when it comes to accessing capital:


- According to a report by PitchBook and All Raise, in 2021, only 2.2% of venture capital funding went to companies with all-female founders, while 12.2% went to companies with at least one female founder.



- Women of color receive an even smaller share of venture capital funding, with Black women receiving just 0.27% of total venture funding in 2020, according to ProjectDiane.


- Despite women-owned businesses representing 42% of all businesses in the United States, they receive only about 4.4% of the total value of conventional small business loans, as reported by the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.


These statistics underscore the urgent need for initiatives like #GirlsWantFunds, which seek to level the playing field and empower women entrepreneurs to access the capital they need to succeed.


Empowering Women Through Capital Access:


At the heart of the #GirlsWantFunds initiative is a robust WhatsApp group, bringing together a diverse community of individuals and business owners passionate about supporting women in business. This group serves as a dynamic platform for networking, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing, enabling women to connect with potential investors, explore funding opportunities, and access valuable resources to navigate the fundraising process effectively.

Through strategic partnerships and targeted outreach, BAAB Media Group will leverage its expertise and network to connect women entrepreneurs with investors, venture capitalists, and other funding sources. Whether through pitch events, investor introductions, or tailored fundraising workshops, #GirlsWantFunds is committed to providing women with the tools, connections, and support they need to secure the capital necessary to fuel their growth and innovation.


Focusing on High-Potential Sectors:



Our focus on the energy, fintech, digital, and construction sectors is deliberate, as these industries present vast opportunities for disruption and innovation, yet remain largely untapped by women-led ventures. By channeling capital into these sectors, #GirlsWantFunds not only empowers individual entrepreneurs but also catalyzes broader economic growth and diversity within these industries.


Conclusion:


The launch of #GirlsWantFunds represents a significant step forward in BAAB Media Group's mission to empower women and promote gender equality in entrepreneurship. By harnessing the power of community, collaboration, and capital, we are committed to creating a future where women have equal access to the resources they need to turn their innovative ideas into reality. Join us in our journey to empower women, raise capital, and build a more inclusive and prosperous world for all.
