The Data
65% of Women Don't Run Businesses. 58% Want To. Most Never Will.
This isn't a motivation problem. It's a research problem, and Shampaigne Graves has the data to prove it.
The Research
The Gap No One's Talking About
According to QuickBooks' 2026 Entrepreneurship Survey, nearly two-thirds of women (65%) have never owned or run a business, compared to 46% of men.
Yet 58% of women say they'd consider starting one.
That's a 23-point desire-to-action gap. And it's not because women lack ambition. It's because three invisible barriers keep them stuck on the sidelines, barriers most coaches, courses, and cheerleading can't see, let alone solve.

The Expert
Meet Shampaigne Graves
Shampaigne isn't another "hustle harder" motivator. She's coached 200+ women through the exact gap between desire and action.
She didn't guess what was holding them back. She measured it.
Her data reveals the three hidden forces that derail even the most driven women, and the specific, research-backed moves that actually get them off the sidelines and into ownership.
The Framework
The Three Invisible Barriers (And What Moves Them)
Most programs treat entrepreneurship like a confidence issue. Shampaigne's research shows it's not.
Women aren't failing to start because they're afraid. They're failing because they're fighting invisible structural, psychological, and strategic barriers that no one named, until now.
Shampaigne's methodology identifies and removes each barrier with precision:
01
Time
No time for even traditional online programs that require long video lectures. Our audio-first education platform includes a mobile application with offline-use ability, so learning fits into commutes, school runs, and in-between moments.
02
Accessibility
Our curriculum is delivered like a podcast in an easy-to-understand way. Built for readers at an eighth-grade level, our program breaks down the business jargon so you can act without getting stuck in terminology.
03
Funding
Women receive less than 2% of VC funding. Women can't afford to wait on traditional forms of funding, which is why BOLDIFI teaches women alternative forms of funding: service trades, mentorship, interns, and sponsorship, so capital isn't a gatekeeper to launch.
Then, she deploys the exact levers that move women from "someday" to "signed and operating."
The Proof
This Isn't Theory. It's Traction.
200+ women have moved through Shampaigne's framework. They didn't just "feel ready." They became ready, and launched.
If you're in the 58% who want to run a business but haven't yet, you're not broken. You're blocked. And blocks can be removed.
