Regional women-in-business report, annual award show success, room for growth
Women-led emerging growth companies in the Philadelphia region raise on average more than $10 million per company — called “significant outside capital” — according to a report released last week by WIN, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern PA and the Wharton Small Business Development Center.
The May 7th reception, where the report was discussed at BFTP’s offices in the Innovation Center of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, came along with other news for Pennsylvania women in business.
Gov. Ed Rendell saluted the honorees of the state’s 14th annual “Best 50 Women in Business” list, at a Harrisburg reception held Monday.
“Pennsylvania applauds the vital contributions that women entrepreneurs and leaders make to their communities and to the economic development of our state,” Fast Eddie said.
