💡 "Women create jobs faster—so why do we only give them stages, not support?" — Hilton Theunissen
On this UN MSME Day episode of Doing Good Business, Hilton Theunissen and Sam Marshall tackle the hard truths about entrepreneurship in SA:
✅ The $42B financing gap: Why women-led businesses are over-mentored but underfunded.
✅ Infrastructure vs. “performance theatre”: Why SA needs 100+ dedicated women’s business centers (not just programs).
✅ Data-driven solutions: How the US’s 155 women-focused SBDCs could inspire SA’s economic turnaround.
✅ The real ‘doing good’: Moving beyond dialogue to bricks-and-mortar support for women entrepreneurs.
