Known for her precise action plans and curated introductions, Sian uses her experiences to empower and create opportunities for others. Her commitment to authenticity and empowerment has been instrumental in helping numerous clients achieve their fullest potential while staying true to her values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last Thursday afternoon in Toronto in her room, Sian shared her candid insights on women entrepreneurs in Wales. Reflecting on her extensive experience working with top-tier sports figures and influential brands like Dominos Pizza, Britvic and Chrysler, Sian expressed a poignant critique of the current state of female entrepreneurship in Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s adequate support out there for business start ups in Wales, and not specifically for those that identify as female entrepreneurs,\u201d Sian said. \u201cI think vast improvements are needed in Wales and particularly Cardiff as a capital city. The business support services to me seem outdated and very much in need of modernization. There should be a central resource, network and app with introduction opportunities and funding and investors and there\u2019s not a streamlined approach. Times are changing but the Welsh business scene has often felt like a clicky, dusty, whitewashed old boys club.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Sian-Gunney-profile-.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-14809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1-770x433.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1-293x165.jpeg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Sian-Gunney-profile-.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-14809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1-770x433.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/image-1-293x165.jpeg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Sian Gunney, digital marketing expert and advocate for women entrepreneurs<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Mrs. Jill Jones also expressed her views on female entrepreneurs in Wales. She is currently a PhD student funded by the ESRC at Cardiff University Business School, and she has extensive experience as business angel investor and is a fervent advocate for women in entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because her research focuses on gender and the provision of finance to entrepreneurial ventures, she first uses data to indicate that women are facing funding challenges. According to her recollections, 86% of business angels are male, and over 70% of business funding goes to all-male teams. Approximately only 11% of business angels fund all-female teams, with the remainder going to mixed teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s whilst we still need to ask that question, there probably isn\u2019t enough support for entrepreneurs. It\u2019s still a case that the typical entrepreneur is sort of as being male. Entrepreneurship is very much built around male standards,\u201d said Jill. \u201cWe still have a way to go to get support, building organizations, and having discussions like this, raising awareness of the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the challenges faced by women in entrepreneurship, Sian said, \u201cJudgement, network, financial training, investment know how, net worth having investment to build in the way women want to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Sian and Jill expressed their views on how to improve the current situation for women as a minority group in entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sain firstly emphasizes that parents and education systems need to add financial planning and investment training at early stages for females not just males. Then she highlights education and business support services building and supporting access to networks and support to build better relationships not just locally but globally with contacts and alumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also recommends creating constructive criticism classes like debate classes where women gain training on both giving and receiving helpful coaching and feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow to help not judge, how to support not tear each other down. No other woman is a threat we must learn to cheer and champion each other better.\u201d said Sian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Jill, conversations, role models, raising awareness, and starting out knows that women are not on their own and knows where to go for help and advice are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRole models is for women starting out that they can see women who have achieved it, and that makes it much more reliable and achievable,\u201d said Jill. \u201cRaising awareness, holding events, having discussions to just change the idea of what the typical entrepreneur looks like. It\u2019s not necessarily just white male.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x-770x434.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x-770x434.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/WX20240527-132409@2x-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Jill Jones, lead investor of Women Angels of Wales.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is the UK business angel association, which is backing female led groups, like <a href=\"https:\/\/womenangelsofwales.com\/\">Women Angels of Wales (WAW)<\/a>. Jill is one of lead investors of WAW. They are equity investors, which means they invest and take a share of the company. They then build the company alongside the business founders, becoming part of it. They tend to invest at the early stages of business growth. At the onset, their goal is to encourage women to become investors and to invest in women-led businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business owners in Wales have access to a fabulous support system for equity investment, which includes the co-investment fund. Whatever money they raise within the syndicate, Development Bank Wales matches these funds, effectively giving double that amount to the entrepreneur. If they invest a pound, Development Bank Wales will match it, so the entrepreneur effectively receives twice as much money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jill said, \u201cBefore investing, people need to have a clear idea of the gap in the market, a clear idea of why they need to develop their product or their service, and how they\u2019re going to get better to achieve that plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is similar to the advice Sian mentioned for young female entrepreneurs, where Sian said, &#8220;When it comes to running a business is to have a plan and follow it through, to stick to it, to not chase the shiny new thing.&#8221; They also give many advice for those women who are new in an entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"388\" height=\"978\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/Advice-for-Women-En1111trepreneurs-from-Sian-and-Jill.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14789\" style=\"width:388px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/Advice-for-Women-En1111trepreneurs-from-Sian-and-Jill.png 388w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/Advice-for-Women-En1111trepreneurs-from-Sian-and-Jill-119x300.png 119w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/Advice-for-Women-En1111trepreneurs-from-Sian-and-Jill-293x739.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"388\" height=\"978\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/Advice-for-Women-En1111trepreneurs-from-Sian-and-Jill.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14789\" style=\"width:388px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/Advice-for-Women-En1111trepreneurs-from-Sian-and-Jill.png 388w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/Advice-for-Women-En1111trepreneurs-from-Sian-and-Jill-119x300.png 119w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/Advice-for-Women-En1111trepreneurs-from-Sian-and-Jill-293x739.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In Jill\u2019s research, gender is the sort of key differentiator to break down and soon analyze minority group.
