This hurts women’s total wealth over time, thereby exacerbating the gender wealth gap.  In 2019, less than 3% of all VC investment went to women-led companies, and only 1/5th of U.S. VC went to startups with at least one woman on the founder team.  Women drive the world economy as we control $31.8 trillion in consumer spending. We need to learn to invest to change the landscape from “consumer spending” to “generational wealth”.  You have an opportunity at financial and social capital with no strings attached.. Lack of financial and social capitol is said to be the strongest reason why new businesses never get off the ground or fail within the first 3 years.
