When navigating entrepreneurship, women often face gender-specific challenges in the industry such as gender bias, lack of capital (data shows that women-owned businesses are less likely to receive funding), and confidence issues due to the lack of female representation in the industry.
While mentorship programs exist to alleviate these frustrations, women are often underserved as non-customized or tailor-fitted mentorship programs cannot grasp the nuances of the gender gaps between cis-men and women/gender-diverse people. These nuances affect people's decision-making and should be taken into account when providing professional guidance.
Insightful is a mentorship platform that connects mentees and mentors from the women and gender-diverse community. Using vector similarity search, Insightful matches mentees with prospective mentors that share the same goals - expertise, industry, and personal background. We are aware that cultural nuances, communication styles, decision-making processes, and business practices, hence we acknowledge these personal information in our matchmaking process so the mentees can receive guidance with greater sensitivity, empathy, and effectiveness.
