62% of internationally active female entrepreneurs are over the age of 50, debunking the entrepreneurial stereotype of an assertive young man. Of the women in this group, 39% reported feeling as though their gender affected their access to financial assistance. This number was significantly higher with female entrepreneurs who were not yet internationally active.
