FYI, Female – Focused Co working Spaces Dubai are here to Stay

Female co working spaces Dubai, trips, and retreats are regularly popping up across the globe. With more and more women venturing into the professional world through entrepreneurship and flexible work solutions, the importance of establishing female-focused, shared workspaces such as The Bureau, Dubai, is undeniable. Although female-run businesses increased by 68% over the last decade, the level of VC funding and overall investment in female founded startups remains stagnant. Women face many unique challenges from finding a mentor and co-founder, to connecting with like minded professionals.

For this reason, female-centric co working spaces in Dubai give women the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. Here is a list of our favorite reasons to work out of female focused coworking spaces, and why you should too!

“Women tend to appreciate and crave this type of learning environment and want to feel safe and empowered in their workspace as they grow their careers and businesses.” – Lyndell Werling, Hera Hub

1. Finding a Mentor or Mentee According to a recent LinkedIn study, approximately 82% of female professionals deemed it highly advantageous to have a mentor. However, only a small percentage of women have had the luck of finding one during their entrepreneurial journey. Female coworking spaces provide women with much-needed opportunities to seek out mentors. In these safe spaces, you have the opportunity to reach out to seasoned entrepreneurs who understand the highs and lows of being an entrepreneur, a corporate, a working mom, or a freelancer. 2. Get yourself Funded It is no secret there is a huge discrepancy in VC funding and general investing in female founded and led startups. Unequal access to resources, lack of support, and gender-based prejudices are the main reasons female entrepreneurs do not receive investment. Being a part of a female co working space Dubai provides you with access to women who have successfully obtained funding. From learning how to make a pitch deck, to presenting to VC’s, and access to investors, co working spaces are the best way to get your startup funded. 3. Shared Experience Women experience such unique challenges both personally and professionally on a day to day basis. A huge part of solving issues and moving forward is by sharing experience, and being a part of a community. More than the typical co working space, female centric co working spaces are hubs for support and advice. From more intimate events such as needs and leads sessions and accountability circles, to larger panel events, there are a plethora of women from various walks of lives and industries to share experience and lend an ear.
