Amid Covid's Impact On Women, Companies Join Historic International Women's Day Benefit To Advance Gender Equity, Women In Leadership
EntSun News/10867853
NEW YORK - EntSun -- As COVID continues to disproportionately impact already vulnerable women, Girls With Impact announced the partnership of several industry leaders who are joining forces this International Women's Day to back the next generation of future female leaders, increase gender equality, and support diversity.
Research shows that, despite their small numbers, college women outperform men in launching business ventures – underscoring the importance of early training.
Yet, the funding gap for women entrepreneurs continues to worsen with only 2.8% of the $130 billion in venture capital awarded to women-led companies, according to PitchBook. This, despite being on pace for the 10th straight year that female-founded companies have had faster exits than the broader market.
These companies are showing their support through an historic concert – the Live Nation & Girls With Impact International Women's Day Benefit Concert (https://www.universe.com/events/international-w...) – to raise funds to equip under-resourced girls to become tomorrow' business leaders and innovators.

The one-day event, slated for 6-7pm EST on Monday, March 8th, will deliver a unique live entertainment experience from the comfort of home, featuring Renée Elise Goldsberry, Star of the Tony Award winning Broadway musical, Hamilton.
Companies joining in support include Acceleration Academy (https://www.accelerationacademy.org/), AIG (https://www.aig.com/), BIC (https://us.bic.com/en_us), Edmentum (https://www.edmentum.com/), Ford (https://www.ford.com/), Frontier Communications, (https://frontier.com/) Hill+Knowlton Strategies (https://www.hkstrategies.com/en/), HireVue, (https://www.hirevue.com/?utm_source=press-relea...)
