“Men have the golf course and the cigar clubs to talk business,” she adds, “What do women have?”
When women succeed, the economy flourishes. But to change an ingrained system rooted in white, male privilege, it's going to take women supporting other women.
Despite their consumer power and indomitable entrepreneurial spirit, however, women are still up against the roadblocks thrown down by the predominantly white, male establishment, which has its PayPal Mafia and old boys club. Earlier this month, Forbes published a list of 100 innovators with only one woman on the list, sparking understandable outrage. Research continually shows that given a chance at power, men hoard it, while women use it to improve their lives and their communities.
With Dough, any woman can fund a fledgling business by buying the products listed there, essentially helping these women-owned businesses get that traction they need so much. Over 3,000 companies have signed up through the platform, and thousands of products are available for purchase. She’s now turning the concept behind her book, Changing Tides, into a conference of the same name in 2020, where every product and service showcased will be designed, created and or founded by a woman.
More than 100 women will tackle issues of social change at the conference. “We’ll be asking how can we literally change the world together and create companies that are going to have a profound positive impact,” Moore says.
