Women's Business Development Center
Despite making up over half the country's population, women are underrepresented in corporate enterprises and only 5 are named to Fortune 500 CEO level status.
Women's entrepreneurial issues are underrepresented in the realm of investments and business entrepreneurial.
Statistics:
- Women are nearly half the workforce, yet make up only 12% of the top executives and 12.5% of the corporate officers.
- Colorado ranks among the top states for women-owned businesses.
- One in every 11 adult women in the U.S. owns a business. Female entrepreneurship has been growing at twice the national average since 1997.
- There were 10.6 million privately-held, women-owned businesses in 2004, and there were another 3.9 million firms that were equally owned by a woman and a man.
