Sea Legacy and Reef Life Alliance

According to an American Express 2016 report, there are over 11.3 million women owned businesses in the U.S. that employ nearly 9 million people and generate over $1.6 trillion in revenues. Revenues among these women-owned businesses have increased 35% since 2007 as compared to 27% among all U.S. firms. The global incomes of women are predicted to reach $18 trillion by 2018. It is also estimated that women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing through a combination of influence and buying power. Yet only 4% of venture capital funding goes to women entrepreneurs -- at great cost not only to the entrepreneurs, but also to the millions more workers they would employ, and to the economies whose growth will suffer from the absence of these high potential, creative new businesses.
