Abstract: We examine female entrepreneurs in three different life stages and the influence parents have on them through human and social capital. The results from the web survey sent to 10.000 women entreprenerus in Slovenia, with the 3.4% response rate, were analyzed using Chi square statistics and ANOVA. Female entrepreneurs of different age groups have parents with different occupational and educational background, they differently evaluate their parents as role models and also their instrumental support, while emotional and moral support of parens is fairly important to all woman entrepreneurs. In the future consideration of support and encouragement of female entrepreneurship, parents, especially mothers, should be seen as possible catalysts for their daughters to decide on what they have been dreaming off, but traditionally might have not been brave enough to make their dreams come true.
