Global:SF Women

Global:SF supports visionary women by providing high-quality resources, funding opportunities, and access to a robust global network to support women in growing their businesses in the Bay Area and beyond. These women drive sustainable, inclusive, and equitable economic growth in Northern California and globally.

Women entrepreneurs worldwide face significant barriers in taking their small businesses and startups from micro to high growth. Barriers for these entrepreneurs include access to resources, mentorship, and global networks.

An analysis by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) shows that if women and men participated equally as entrepreneurs, global GDP could rise by approximately 3% to 6%, boosting the global economy by $2.5 trillion to $5 trillion.

Women owned businesses that export earn more, employ more people, and are, on average, more productive than women-owned firms that do not. In addition, women-owned businesses that export their goods and services average $14.5 million in receipts, compared to just $117,036 for women-owned businesses that do not export.”
