March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate the resilience, achievements, and innovation of women across industries. But while recognition is important, real support goes beyond just acknowledgment—it’s about shopping with and investing in woman-owned businesses.
Women-owned businesses make up 42% of all U.S. businesses, yet they receive only 2% of venture capital funding and face significantly higher barriers to scaling compared to their male counterparts. Black woman-owned businesses, in particular, are the fastest-growing segment of entrepreneurs, yet they receive less than 1% of VC funding and struggle with access to resources, mentorship, and capital.
Despite these challenges, women continue to create innovative, high-quality products that deserve more than just moral support—they deserve your dollars. By shopping woman-owned, you're not only empowering female entrepreneurs but also boosting local economies, fostering job creation, and helping close the gender wealth gap.

Why Shopping Woman-Owned Matters
It Strengthens the Economy – Women reinvest up to 90% of their earnings back into their families and communities, compared to 30-40% by men. Supporting woman-owned businesses means uplifting entire local economies.
It Closes the Wealth Gap – On average, women entrepreneurs start their businesses with 50% less capital than men, making it harder to scale and build generational wealth.
It Creates Jobs – Woman-owned businesses employ over 9 million people in the U.S. alone.
It Fosters Innovation – Women-led businesses are more likely to develop products that serve underserved communities, ensuring more diverse, inclusive solutions in the marketplace.
Beyond Women’s History Month: Make This a Habit
Supporting women entrepreneurs shouldn’t stop on March 31st. Incorporate these brands into your everyday shopping, recommend them to friends, and be intentional about where you spend your money. Your support could be the difference between a woman-owned business thriving or shutting down due to a lack of funding.
