SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Women’s Business Council
(NWBC) is a non-partisan federal
advisory council that serves as an
independent source of advice and
counsel to the President, Congress, and
the Small Business Administration on
economic issues of importance to
women business owners. Members of
the Council are prominent women
business owners and leaders of women’s
business organizations.
One of the NWBC’s priorities this year
is to better understand young women
entrepreneurs (ages 18–34) and how
they are the same or different from
young men entrepreneurs and older
women entrepreneurs in their
knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
NWBC aims to understand the existing
differences shown through current data
as well as to explore differing
expectations and growth potential
through original research.
NWBC has acquired the services of a
research firm to conduct quantitative
data analysis of existing and available
data to sketch the current state of young
women entrepreneurs and identify any
differences as compared to older women
entrepreneurs and young men
entrepreneurs. The firm would also
conduct in-depth analysis of young

women entrepreneurs in comparison to
their counterparts through original
qualitative research. The qualitative
research would consist of 12 focus
groups with approximately 10
individuals in each group. Questions in
the focus groups will explore
expectations, approaches, barriers and
supports, and growth potential of young
women entrepreneurs and their
counterparts. The outcome of the
research will be a body of evidence and
set of recommendations to support the
growth of businesses owned by young
women entrepreneurs.
The focus groups would commence
with a short questionnaire directed at a
limited number of questions with
defined responses. This questionnaire
would be developed based on the
common themes identified through
previous research. The questionnaire
would be given prior to the start of the
focus groups and would be limited to
completion within 10–15 minutes by
the participants. The cover page of the
questionnaire would include a limited
set of demographics about the person
(e.g. age, gender, entrepreneur field,
year first became entrepreneur). All
questionnaires will be coded with a
random participant identification
number, so that no names or identifiers
will be included on the questionnaire.
The focus groups will be no longer than
2 hours in length in total from start to
finish, and no more than 10 participants
will be involved in any of the focus
groups. Focus groups would likely be
gender- and age-specific and would be
held using remote communication tools
to manage time and cost.
