Commenting on how gender plays a role in securing funds, SMU Associate Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) Kenneth Goh said that while women bring a broader set of legitimate motivations to entrepreneurship, the potential consequence is that they may "unintentionally reinforce societal biases that cast doubts on women’s entrepreneurial abilities". He said that these biases could create barriers to accessing capital, business networks, and other resources that enhance early growth.
