Jumply is a mentor and crowdfunding platform for women entrepreneurs. We are democratizing the funding landscape for women entrepreneurs. There are 8.3 million women owned businesses in the U.S. Although women employ 40% more people than the three largest employers (Wal-mart, IBM, McDonalds) combined and have been shown to deliver 12% higher revenue using 33% less capital than men they receive less than 6% of “traditional capital.” Jumply wants to change that ratio. Our goal is that women entrepreneurs everywhere are able to receive great mentoring, support and financial backing they need irrespective of their location or economic status. Why Is This Important ? Empowering women isn't just the right thing to do – it’s the smart thing to do. Women are starting business twice the rate of men. Women will create over half of the 9.72 million new small business jobs expected to be created by 2018. Let’s ensure they have the capital they need. Join us in changing the ratio one woman at a time.
