Celebrating Women-Owned Businesses: Empowering Entrepreneurship This International Women's Day
Posted on March 1, 2025
As International Women's Day approaches on March 8th, we at Cellasphere are taking this opportunity to celebrate the incredible achievements of women entrepreneurs. As a proud woman-owned business founded by Cella Deer, we understand firsthand the unique journey of female entrepreneurship—the challenges, the triumphs, and the immense satisfaction of building something meaningful.
The Rising Tide of Women Entrepreneurs
The landscape of business ownership is changing. Today, nearly 30% of all businesses are owned by women, with that number growing steadily each year. These enterprises aren't just surviving—they're thriving and reshaping industries with innovative approaches and strong leadership.
Women-owned businesses now constitute approximately 42% of all U.S. businesses, generating an impressive $1.9 trillion in revenue annually. This isn't just good for women; it's good for the economy as a whole, creating jobs and driving innovation across the country.
Why Women Start Businesses: Purpose Beyond Profit
What motivates women to take the entrepreneurial leap? Research shows that women entrepreneurs often cite workplace flexibility and autonomy as key motivators for starting their ventures.
Like many of you, we founded Cellasphere not just to create a profitable business, but to build an enterprise that reflects our values. For us, that means:
Creating stress-free web design experiences for small businesses
Building collaborative relationships with our clients
Empowering business owners with the tools to manage their own digital presence
Offering transparent pricing and processes
The most successful women-owned businesses combine economic viability with social and environmental responsibility, often adopting triple bottom line approaches that contribute to their sustained success.
Challenges and Triumphs
The path of entrepreneurship is rarely straight or smooth. Women business owners face unique challenges, including:
Limited access to capital (only a small percentage of venture capital goes to women-owned businesses)
Different networking opportunities compared to male counterparts
Balancing business growth with personal responsibilities
Despite these obstacles, women entrepreneurs demonstrate remarkable resilience. Many start their ventures with personal savings rather than external funding—just like our founder Cella, who built Cellasphere from the ground up.
Building a Supportive Community
As a business focused on helping other small businesses thrive online, we believe in the power of community. Organizations like the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), and local women's business alliances provide vital resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy.
These connections aren't just nice to have—they're essential. Studies indicate that women entrepreneurs with mentors are more likely to implement effective business strategies and develop organized business structures.
How Cellasphere Supports Women-Owned Businesses
We're proud to work with many women-owned businesses, helping them establish compelling online presences that truly represent their brands. Our approach aligns perfectly with the needs of many women entrepreneurs:
