]–[50], sharedexperiences (e.g., enrollment at the same university), and values. In that context, it is important for female students to see successful female STEMentrepreneurs for both symbolic as well as functional reasons [46], [51]. Symbolically, exposureto female STEM entrepreneurs can signal to female students that STEM entrepreneurship is notonly for men and that women can be successful in entrepreneurship. Functionally, femalestudents are likely to pay greater attention to female STEM entrepreneurs and take an interest inhearing about the challenges they have faced and how they have integrated the seeminglyconflicting social roles of being an entrepreneur and a woman.
