FUTURE WOMEN – Minority Female Entrepreneurship and the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the Era of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency.

  ATLANTA - 12/10/2019

New book Future Women engages readers to claim their place in the Fourth Industrial Revolution

There is tremendous opportunity to be gained in the new digital economy. Of the $424.7 billion of funding raised in the past decade for startup companies, less than 2% went to minority women founders. With an emphasis on diversity and inclusion at the center of this new economy, the time has come for minority women to be part of the building process! Hard-earned lessons from CEO and Founder of Patientory, Chrissa McFarlane are foretold in her new book FUTURE WOMEN – Minority Female Entrepreneurship and the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the ERA of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency. By the end of FUTURE WOMEN readers will be inspired to find their passion for contributions in this new digital landscape.

The rise of digital transformation combined with new-age technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency is pushing the world forward into the Fourth Industrial Revolution to change the way we live, work and relate to one another. But’s there’s a stark difference in today’s landscape: the Era of the woman has arrived, and the ascent of minority women entrepreneurship is alive and real than ever before.

While women-owned businesses have grown exponentially over the last decade, the road is tougher particularly for minority women entrepreneurs as the stakes are much higher for this group to experience longevity; especially in a world where a boys’ club holds all the keys.

In navigating this, Chrissa McFarlane - the world’s first blockchain woman CEO and founder of Patientory - has experienced firsthand what it’s like to tackle the highs and lows living as a minority female entrepreneur.

Her debut book Future Women uncovers her personal journey as a woman entrepreneur in healthcare, disparaging the ins and outs of cryptocurrency and blockchain and what the future woman mindset looks like for rising minority women vying to take their place at the table.

Readers may ask themselves: 

• What is blockchain and cryptocurrency – and how do I get involved?
• Do you wish to ride the wave of the new-age technologies?
• How do I break into the field?
• What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur?
• Do you wonder how your company can harness the Fourth Generation Revolution?

A yes to any of these questions means that Future Women is the right book to read.
