Weeks, President and CEO, Womenable \"Women are the world's greatest under-tapped force for economic expansion. To ensure that women entrepreneurs achieve their potential, we need to change attitudes and policies. We need data, real life examples, and action items to make it happen. Susan Coleman and Alicia Robb provide all three.\"—Geri Stengel, Founder and President, Ventureneer\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou may be familiar with the success stories of Spanx, GoldieBlox, and other women-owned businesses that have taken their markets by storm. But, today, only two percent of women-owned firms generate more than one million dollars annually. \u003ci\u003eThe Next Wave\u003c\/i\u003e is here to help women drive up that number. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on the Kauffman Firm Survey and many other sources, Susan Coleman and Alicia M. Robb cull together data-driven advice for women-owned, growth-oriented businesses as they finance their expansion. They not only consider the unique approaches and specific concerns of female business owners, but also take into account the growing pool of investors who will play a role in selecting and grooming a new generation of women entrepreneurs. Since growth-oriented firms typically require external capital, the investor perspective is critical. Telling entrepreneurs what the research means for them, outfitting them with resources, and illustrating the road ahead with real world cases, this book serves as a pioneering strategy guide for the next wave of women who want to \"go big\" to bring home their goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
