Crowdsourcing has become the resourceful entrepreneur’s path to finding the right support and solutions when most needed, by tapping into the power of community and networks. So it should come as no surprise that women entrepreneurs are naturally talented at harnessing the power of crowdsourcing for their businesses. Think about it - as women we are no strangers to asking other women in our networks for help and advice on how to get something done, or where to find a particular product, or how and where to get the best bargain. As a woman entrepreneur building a business with often stretched financial resources, the ability to come up with creative strategies, access other people’s knowledge, connections, and resources is crucial. Therefore, tapping into our natural abilities as crowdsourcers and harnessing the power of collective knowledge and networks can be a real asset.
