Women's Leadership
Bringing women to the forefront of entrepreneurship
There's a lack of women in leadership positions throughout the Digital Entertainment world.
26%
of CEOs and directors in 2021 were women, compared to 2019's 15%. It's an improvement, but there's still a long way to go.
60%
more ROI and less spending in startups led by women, when compared to companies led exclusively by male teams.
Less access to funding
Investors are still less likely to fund women led projects, even in the most progressive ecosystems.
Opportunities for women leadership can be scarce within the creative digital industries.
If you identify yourself as a woman and want to be a part of the Creators Circle, you can benefit from our New Voices initiative and apply for free access!
