Why female led startups stall in Sub-Saharan Africa
About this episode
The episode explores the challenges faced by female entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa and the reasons behind the stalling of their startups.
Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rate of entrepreneurship in the world, according to the World Bank, and most founders there are women. Why, then, do so many of those startups fail to grow? We look at why many female entrepreneurs struggle to access investment and ask three business leaders what might change that.
