don’t see gender Mr.
Slice
Today You Will Walk Away With

entrepreneurship
• A brief introduction to gender, national gender trends
and how they affect the growth of businesses today
• Having engaged in a discussion on innovative ideas for
incubators
• Several examples of current programs succeeding
• Simple best practices that you can apply
Women are the fastest growing
demographic of business owners in the
country in increasing diverse fields.

the number of women-
owned businesses in the
U.S. increased at a rate of
2 1/2 times the national
average and employment
in women-owned
businesses grew at a rate
of 4 1/2 times the rate of

Good News
• Extensive research now exists on the obstacles that
women face.
• Women face similar challenges but feel the effects more
acutely, they require innovative solutions to addressing
those challenges.
• Many national programs and best practices have been
developed and are currently being executed.
The Value of Diversity
• Women build more sustainable businesses
• They engage and support their community
• Women entrepreneurs have higher levels of
innovation than their male counterparts
(Harvard Business Review, 2013).
• They bring diverse view points and values
Successful startups have 2x as
many women in senior roles
than unsuccessful companies.
- Fortune, 2012
Gender is the most powerful
determinant of how we experience
the world.
Gender is often a blind spot for
businesses, partially because the
subject is not typically addressed
in most undergraduate or
graduate-level business courses, or
the workplace itself.
Women…
• Receive 60% of undergraduate degrees and 60% of graduate
degrees
• 36% of business owners
• Control household spending decisions and have $11.2
trillion in spending
• Driving innovations that meet previously unmet needs and
bring new values to business
What are your biggest
concerns about women and
diversity in your program /
incubator?
How can incubators
improve the pipeline of
diverse candidates?
Best Practices
• Combination of programmatic considerations and marketing
strategy
• Getting more diversity in participation can be achieved through
simple strategic communication strategies.
• If the audience you are trying to engage looks different from the
audience you are currently working with, you have to do
something different
Best Practices: Marketing
Market to women … Duh.
• 86% of women rely on peers or colleagues for business advice
and resources.
• Consider your current marketing through a gendered lens.
• Be aware of the “Bro-grammer” incubator stigma.
• Review and diversify your referral sources
Best Practices: Programmatic
• It is not as simple as “women are good communicators”
• Staff training on diversity and gender awareness
• Consider diverse business tools and resources
• Review your current tools and programs and the values
they expose
• Consider the diversity of your staff and their
communication skill sets
• Understand the latest research on women business
ownership and how to effectively work with women
business owners
