Women of color are
starting businesses at five times the rate of all businesses, but their businesses
are not achieving the same level of success as measured by revenues and
employment.
WHY?
The Center for
Women's Business Research is collaborating with Babson College's Center for Women's Leadership on a
unique research project to uncover the challenges and barriers that
women-of-color entrepreneurs are facing in their attempts to grow their
businesses, and to identify actions and strategies that are successful in meeting
and overcoming these challenges and obstacles. This project is sponsored by leading corporations and associations.
*Our
goal is to create knowledge based on experience and insight that will
help all women-of-color entrepreneurs achieve the business success they
are seeking.
