Karen Cahn is working to make funding more accessible for female entrepreneurs. Her company provides instant access to capital through an online fundraising platform, grant opportunities from corporate partners for small businesses, expert business coaching covering essential entrepreneurial topics, and a supportive network of women business owners. Since its launch, IFundWomen’s membership base has surpassed 420,000 individuals, 81% of whom identify as women of color. According to its data, Entrepreneur Members have raised over $2.5B in capital for their businesses. Cahn asks Worth readers to “go fund something. Funding doesn’t necessarily mean you have to become an investor or write a big check. The best form of funding is revenue, so buy from women-owned businesses.”
