Alicia Robb is founder and CEO of Next Wave Impact, which is a movement driving impact, diversity, and inclusion in early stage investing. Their global fund is building a portfolio of investments in early-stage impact companies with 99 women investors led by an experienced investment committee of ten women. In Alicia’s most recent book about entrepreneurial finance—The Next Wave Impact: Financing Women’s Growth-Oriented Firms published by Stanford University Press—it struck her that only 2.8 percent of women-led companies receive VC capital. And that number is only more staggeringly low for women of color. She works with Next Wave Impact to disrupt the traditional VC structure—empowering more women and people of color to invest, so that minority founders are better represented in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Hear how women-owned businesses are kicking it! Today’s podcast is all about a topic that we here at SAMC are working on ourselves: how to help women create and grow their businesses. My conversation with Alicia Robb was wonderful. Alicia has spent ten years as a senior fellow at the Kaufman Foundation in St. Louis studying entrepreneurship and particularly women entrepreneurs. You can read some of her Google Scholars articles here. Of particular interest to me, and perhaps to you as well, is her work on minority-owned business performance and the impact of gender differences on business results. So can women start and run hugely successful businesses? You bet. Listen in and learn how. Want to work at a women-led business? Start one. One of the critical factors influencing business success for women, no matter if the company is minority-owned or not, is the lack of capital and access to that capital. This has become Alicia Robb’s focus. Founder and chief executive officer of Next Wave Impact, a global fund providing early-stage financing and advising to young firms. The difference? Next Wave Impact has 99 women investors, 25 of them women of color, and it is led by an investment committee of ten women. So yes, it can be done. Women have become the driving machine for the American economy but it continues to be an uphill climb Between 2017 and 2018, there were over 1800 new women-owned businesses added to the American economy per day. That's more than twice the pre-2007 time period and the 2007-2012 recession and recovery period.  In many cases, these female start-up founders had just had enough with the corporate workplace and were ready to strike out on their own. These "necessity entrepreneurs" tend to have smaller businesses and their leaders are focused on making a living. This is quite different from "opportunity entrepreneurs" who see an unmet need (à la Blue Ocean Strategy®), have an idea of how to meet that need and then create a new market space around it. With the increasing wealth gap in this country and the growing number of women who are the sole or co-bread winners in their families, the fact that women now own 40% of U.S. businesses should make us pause and figure out ways to help them thrive in their quest to achieve success.
