International Women's Day 2025
This International Women's Day, something extraordinary happened at London's Liverpool Street Station.
Among the rush of around 260,000 daily commuters, digital billboards showcased female founders who are changing the business landscape. our Founder, Catherine Ann, was honoured to be among them, representing doqit in the Female Founders Rise "You've Got What It Takes" campaign.
Why Visibility Matters
The statistics are startling:
*83% of young people cannot name a single female entrepreneur. This visibility gap has a direct impact on aspirations - while 51% of young men feel they have what it takes to start a business, only 37% of young women share that confidence.
This matters because when only **15% of UK businesses are women-led, we're missing out on enormous potential. In fact, up to £250 billion of new value could be added to the UK economy if women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as men!
From Campaign to Action
The Female Founders Rise campaign, featuring 15 female founders, aims to change this narrative. Each billboard represented a real story of innovation, determination, and success. But visibility is just the first step - action must follow.
The Journey: Why Catherine Ann Created doqit
Like many founders featured in this campaign, Catherine Ann's journey started with identifying a problem that needed solving. The overwhelming nature of life admin - those countless hours spent managing documents, remembering deadlines, and keeping track of important information - was a challenge she knew many people faced.
Taking Action
This International Women's Day's theme of "Accelerating Action" perfectly aligns with doqit's mission. We're not just talking about change; we're making it happen.
By simplifying life admin, we're giving people back their time to focus on what matters most - whether that's growing their business, spending time with family, or pursuing their dreams.
