The NYU Entrepreneurial Institute trains and supports entrepreneurs as part of a new generation of business leaders committed to closing the gender gap in entrepreneurship. Our NYU Female Founders initiative offers monthly “lunch & learn” events, Female Founders Forums, and resources to help founders at NYU and beyond grow or scale their startups.

We’re happy to recognize the female founders who have been a part of the Institute! Here are a few statistics we’re particularly proud of:

• NYU ranks #1 Globally as the university with the highest % of funded companies led by a female founder
• 68% of the teams who participated in our Startup Accelerator Series last year are led/co-led by Female Founders
• 53% of Leslie eLab unique visitors identify as women

We hope to continue to offer impactful content and resources to support founders and women working in STEAM. If you're interested in getting involved, please let us know by emailing entrepreneur@nyu.edu.
