Growth of women owned businesses

If you take a look at a few women-owned businesses that top the list of fastest-growing hubs, you’d find one thing: diversity. Take Pinnacle Technical Resources, a staffing and managed services firm. Started in 1996, it’s now got revenue that’s well over $1 billion — yes, that’s “billion” with a “b” — and has more than doubled in just two years, up to $1.9 billion.
