This question is about women entrepreneurship statistics.
Are women entrepreneurs more successful than men?
No, women entrepreneurs aren't more successful than men. While this isn't true in every case or from every point of view, it is true from the perspective of how much revenue female-owned businesses earned versus their male-owned counterparts.
As of 2018, male-owned businesses earn $3.2 million in revenue every year, while female-owned businesses only earn $1.6 million. However, this is quickly shifting, as the revenue women-owned businesses earn increased by 21% since 2014, and the overall revenue growth rate has only gone up by 9%.
Just because businesses owned by women don't usually make as much revenue as those owned by males doesn't mean that female entrepreneurs are always less successful than male entrepreneurs.
This is especially true since women-owned startups only received 2.3% of all venture capital funding in 2020 and the fact that women had to work to catch up to men since the 70s when women-owned less than 5% of U.S. businesses (now they own 43%, and the number of female entrepreneurs has increased by over 30% since 2007).
