Business is no easy task for women, they in the entrepreneurial process need pay more efforts than men.


Women how to face the business difficulties

  

As entrepreneurs, in the need to recapitalise process, I realized, because the venture capital value less women entrepreneurs, so those green and lack of social experience of women entrepreneurs in the risk investment institutions need to recapitalise on poineering process difficulties.

 

 

 

 

 

Penelope · special reduced g (Penelope Trunk) recently published in the column VentureBeat point, because vulnerable to birth influence, and tend to the pursuit of material comforts and comfortable life, so women is not suitable for entrepreneurship.

 

 

 

 

 

But special reduced g ignored the fact that women are good at management and leadership, business process in all aspects of played outstanding.

 

 

 

 

 

Women entrepreneurship why in difficulties

 

 

 

 

 

Entrepreneurs to work in a constantly changing. At first, the entrepreneur needs to come up with a good business idea, and use the incomparable market insight make entrepreneurial ideas into reality. Then, the entrepreneur needs to recruit right staff, employees to introduce myself the idea, to create outstanding team, training team to do big business, looking for partners and customers, continuously make oneself of the company development. In the above areas, women can do a job with skill and ease.

 

 

 

 

 

If you have this question, so as long as pay attention to small business owners under the ratio of man to female is ok. The White House released data show that the speed of business women in the United States than average 1.5 times higher.

 

 

 

 

 

Standing in the point of view of women entrepreneurs, generally speaking, to bear and the male entrepreneurs the same working strength, women entrepreneurs and no objection. For cannot afford things, women entrepreneurs also don't feel frustrated.

 

 

 

 

 

Entrepreneurs belong to rare group, but both men and women entrepreneurs have this kind of values.

 

 

 

 

 

As a special group, the female entrepreneur and entrepreneurship not because of the hard work, bringing on the difficulty. Women entrepreneurs the difficulties faced by not type of work, work or initial low returns.

 

 

 

 

 

Admittedly, many women have to overcome more obstacles, so as to achieve their business goals such as trent g mentioned, in taking care of family and starting a family, women take more burden (and at the same time enjoy more happy). But this excuse, plus the impractical conservative thoughts, all is not cause women entrepreneurship more difficult sticking point.

 

 

 

 

 

The key to the problem is: in the fight for money, women face more difficulties, and capital is the cornerstone of the development of the each company.

 

 

 

 

 

Raise the question of funds

 

 

 

 

 

Institutional investors will usually set foot in the initial investment enterprise. For many entrepreneur, the institutional investors can help companies to accelerate the development, so that the team continued complete venture.

 

 

 

 

 

Although almost every entrepreneurs say most is not willing to do work is raising money, but I think, women in this respect are faced with the difficulty of more than men.

 

 

 

 

 

In order to like men can be successful to raise funds, women entrepreneurs have to make more efforts, overcome difficulties and make a contrary to its social identity of the work. And many of my female friends entrepreneurs, I enjoy the work, but we think and run a company faces other pressure, compared to raise funds pressure let us feel the pain.

 

 

 

 

 

Because the current way of raising money by the male dominance, and favor male entrepreneurs, cause women not good at raising money, also can produce conflict to the job. To raise funds need most of the characteristics and the very nature of the men fit for such as readily the things, or show AIRS and graces of self-confidence.

 

 

 

 

 

Now, I have finished two financing. My business supervisor are almost successful men entrepreneurs, they told me, to raise funds, I need to be like a male that, more strong, bold and perseverance. This for helping me really very big, because those qualities are not my nature. In their inspiration and encouragement, I can have half of their financing capability.

 

 

 

 

 

However, in the business companies and products marketing of other aspects, such as the establishment of partnerships between, considering the product and market fit, venture mentors will not to ask me such as financing that advice. At this time, of the "feminization" of leadership in team building, cooperation relationship, comprehensive management and marketing will show advantage.

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, and many women entrepreneurs, in addition to raising money beyond, I in the enterprise management aspects do very well.

 

 

 

 

 

And risk investment emotional ties are female weakness

 

 

 

 

 

Enterprise in many aspects involved in emotional ties with the audience, so women to create enterprise and the customer is close emotional connection, a lot of consumerism in most women as the guidance.

 

 

 

 

 

When you raise the wind investment gold, your "audience" are male. Women can't like other men that, and men establish emotional contact. Therefore, women leading venture capital funds tend to investment women entrepreneurs enterprise.

 

 

 

 

 

If the risk investment and angel investors to entrepreneurs gender equal treatment, I think more women entrepreneurs will get risk investment.

 

 

 

 

 

Women and risk

 

 

 

 

 

And no risk investment background compared to the company, the risk capital investment company faced with entirely different operating pressure. Risk investment focus on those who put all your eggs in one basket, in the four years to conquer or to die, also prefer those who either do big, or dissolution of the company.

 

 

 

 

 

In accordance with personal experience, I think that women risk preference is low, so only fewer women entrepreneurs can get risk investment institution capital injection, no wonder. From a certain perspective, this understandable. We do not need to not let men and women entrepreneurs get considerable risk investment. But...

 

 

 

 

 

Bridge gender gap

 

 

 

 

 

Social can and should be more courage to take risks to encourage women to realize his dream.

 

 

 

 

 

Silicon valley social norms is, 22 year old male programmers will hope to be like zac's (Zuckerberg) like that. Silicon valley another a social norms is, the male entrepreneurs will get good risk investment.

 

 

 

 

 

But silicon valley and not against women in the criterion. Women 2.0 and Golden Seeds and other companies, and Kleiner Perkins Women such as the leading venture capital institutions, are promoting for men and Women entrepreneurs risk investment system, so, in female criterion form before, I'm the practice of these institutions praised.
