Q&A: Best Industries for Women Entrepreneurs
Q: Given the Me Too movement and other gender issues
es, what industries are best for women
with dreams of entrepreneurship?
A: In theory, one should pick a field of interest regardless of gender bias within the industry. Identify possible mentors and influencers.
