Business Ideas for Women Entrepreneurs

With decades of the patriarchal burden borne by the women in our society and still practiced in many other countries – bearing both beauty and brains, it is time that we emerge out of our cocoon and show the world that we are very much capable of being a super cool mompreneur/ solopreneur / working-moms or anything we want to be.

Here I am, typing away stories on International Women’s Day 2023 about women in online business doing a great job influencing the younger generation to come.

Hello Alfred was founded in 2014 by two Harvard graduates who were tired of coming to a dirty apartment. It is a resident-management software that helps intuitive people with services ranging from laundry, groceries to package deliveries – every service that is required for a busy person. It is located in over 20 cities in the USA.

PinkTrotters:

Long gone are the days that females can’t travel without a male companion. PinkTrotters a marketplace that exclusively makes sure women of like-mindedness travel and explores together.

It is a global lifestyle social networking platform for women: the one-stop for a place to organize events, trips with female-only privileges. Eliana Salvi, CEO of Pinktrotters says that her firm’s mission is to

“Bring cosmopolitan women together for online and offline experiences they will never forget and to keep our network going long after the moments enjoyed have ended.”

“Provide entrepreneurial women with a productive, professional work and meeting space, where they can connect with a like-minded community to collaborate and flourish.”

What online marketplace business prospects are there for business aspirants?

Allow me to pitch you a few business ideas that involve a marketplace to run your business easily.

1. On-demand Catering services:

We know how hard it is to look for a caterer for our festivities. How about owning an on-demand marketplace that your audience trusts and book their festive caterers? And you manage the catering listings and end-users hassle-free using your marketplace!

2. Furniture renting platform:

People who are on the move could list or rent their furniture for others to book as and when there is a need. Now that’s an interesting business prospect, don’t you think?

3. On-demand Flower delivery services:

The same goes for delivering flowers. You could own a marketplace connecting flower shops and the end-customer who would love to shop from them. Why not you help them both with your marketplace?

4. Branded clothes rental business:

Not every one of us can afford Dior, Armani, Louis Vuitton, or Prada now can we? But you could make the dreams of some fashion freak come true with your rental marketplace.

5. On-demand handmade gifts delivery services:

You could connect artisans who make hand-woven sarees, jute bags, silk thread bangles, sculptures, and paintings with the people who have the means to buy and enjoy it. You could help rejuvenate a dying art through your marketplace.

6. Home-cooked meal delivery services:

Having a home-cooked meal after a long day at work or people who care about their fitness and health is something that is happening now. How about you create an online platform to connect home-makers who would like to make some extra cash by preparing home-made food and the working folks who don’t have the time to cook food? It’s a scenario to think about and it could also be a booming business opportunity.
