The entrepreneurial news the past 2 weeks has had a strong focus on women. The articles are not just written for women but for all participating in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The themes are less inspirational and more data-based to help inform on the impact women will have on the trajectory of entrepreneurship. Great stuff for using knowledge for effective decision-making. Knowing is half the battle. Enjoy!

The Kauffman Foundation has released a new report that introduces three mega trends that are fundamentally reshaping entrepreneurship in America. The new demographics of entrepreneurship reveals that under-representation of minority groups and women hurts the economy by reducing the number of businesses and jobs they would create.
