Why We Need More Women Owned Businesses, with Katie Cope
Season 2 · Episode 16
Tuesday, September 24, 2024 • Duration 41:43
Season 2, Episode 16: Show Up and Be Heard
Today’s episode of the podcast is an interview with the fabulous Katie Cope, and we are talking all about why the world needs more women owned businesses.
Katie shares with us some fascinating facts about female founders, highlighting the positive contributions they make to both society and the world and giving us all a well needed reminder of just what a rockstar we are, for running a business!
We also chat about our views on the way that women are represented by the media and how we are trying to raise our children to create a more equal future.
BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN:
Last year, just under 164,000 women started a business in the UK
63% of female founders perform better for venture capitalistic investment than our male counterparts
If women were given equal opportunities, we could add £250 billion to the UK economy alone
In 2019 at 7 months pregnant Katie was made redundant from her full-time employment.
At that moment she had three options:
1) Crawl into bed, pull the covers over her head and wait for everything to "blow over".
2) Get another job (which, at the time, she was working in the events industry and felt that no one would hire someone who hadn't seen her feet for the last 3 months!)
3) Her wild card option: start a business.
Five years later Katie is the founder of Keppel Leopard Creative - a branding agency located in greater Manchester working exclusively with female founders.
