Where Can Women Entrepreneurs Find the Most Success?
Small to medium-sized cities may have fewer barriers to entry than some of the nation’s leading start-up hubs.
With women like Elizabeth Holmes founding multi-billion dollar companies, and others such as Sheryl Sandburg and Beth Comstock running them, there’s a growing sense that the U.S. is finally starting to carve out space for tenacious women in the upper-most echelons of the business world.
Of course, the presence of these women is not nearly as ubiquitous as one might hope in 2015. The New York Times reports that there are more CEOs named “John” running S&P 1500 companies than there are women. And while the number of female-owned businesses may be climbing, the actual share of women in top business positions in the U.S. is still relatively small.
