Women Entrepreneurs, You Need To Watch The She Means Business Trailer Immediately [VIDEO]

5:00 pm, May 30th | by Amy Tennery

Allow us to geek out for a moment: We could not be more excited for the new documentary She Means Business.

We’ve all heard it before: Women entrepreneurs are underfunded by venture capitalists, underrepresented in business and undervalued by many corporations. But She Means Business is here to put some faces behind the data.

Did you know that just 3 to 5 percent of women-owned businesses get venture capital at all? (We’re also not getting a whole lot of bank loans, by the way.) She Means Business (which is currently pulling together funding on Kickstarter) draws on the best women experts in finance and business — including venture capitalist Monica Dodi and author Jess Weiner — to explore why women keep getting left out.

As the fabulous Weiner put it, “There’s a tribe that exists! And I’m a part of it!”

Yes! Tribe! Watch this trailer! Now!

“Did you know that just 3 to 5 percent of women-owned businesses get venture capital at all?”

A meaningless statement on its own. How many men-owned (do you even USE the term “men-owned”?) businesses get venture capital?

This is more victimology and falling for the notion that women should be the same as men. They aren’t.

Ask yourself honestly, did those who set out to create this already KNOW what conclusion they wanted to find before setting out? I know you know they did. They ignored all the special benefits and treatment and programs for women-owned businesses and instead cherry picked factoids to fit their pre-made conclusions.
