A female entrepreneurial equality movement ‘SheSaysMore’ is brewing, pioneered by some of the top UK business women in the UK. It will raise awareness of the issues female founders face and will push for meaningful change - open access to government support for early-stage female entrepreneurs, tax breaks for female founders and improve the fact that only 15% of businesses in the UK are now owned or led by women, down from 18% in 2022 and 19% in 2021.
It will also drive for enhanced tax incentives for investors in female founders and workplace conditions. A mere 0.15% of UK businesses are female founded and £1m+ in revenue, vs 7.65% being male founded and £1m+ in revenue.
Powerhouse Katrina Hutchinson-O’Neill, CEO & Founder, is spearheading the revolution and KEATA MEDIA is on board to lend a hand with this important not for profit campaign.
To shine bright colour on these important issues and shift the needle and equality in the workplace, Kat has commissioned 100 clutch bags from amazing designer , inviting top female entrepreneurs to share mini quotes on the things make investors and founders have said to them. We have all had the most incredibly supportive male colleagues, bosses and friends, but sadly many women are still on the receiving end of the odd comment that exposes their counterparts’ truth and could impact female confidence and wellbeing.
Check out Kat’s accolades and awards, trailblazing the way for start ups like ourselves by Olivia Keata Gourlay to be inspired, clutching heels and hiking boots as we stride into 2025. 👠 🥾
