Hi Elpha community!

My name is Michelle Howard and I am an analyst for the research team at Endeavor México, an organization which grows entrepreneurship in Mexico by providing entrepreneurs opportunities for mentorship and growth. Did you know that only 21% of the capital invested in startups in 2022 was allocated to companies with female founders? To tackle this inequity, Endeavor México has partnered with the Inter American Development Bank Lab to research gender and financing gaps in the Latin America and Caribbean entrepreneurial ecosystem. By studying the experiences of STEM entrepreneurs and leaders in the region, our study aims to identify and promote the changes necessary for reducing the gap.

If you are a or know any female-identifying:

• Founders or C-level leaders from LATAM
• Founders or C-level leaders of companies operating in LATAM

then please fill out and share this 15 minute survey!

Your responses to this study will remain anonymous, and by completing it, you add important insights to our report on the experiences and challenges women face while leading companies. In addition, by submitting this survey you automatically enter a drawing for prizes such as a trip to Colombia in June to participate in the WeXchange 2023 Forum, the largest forum in Latin America and the Caribbean for STEM entrepreneurs.

Thank you all in advance for your time and consideration! Please reach out to me if you have any questions at [email protected]
