Abstract: Abstract This study aims to identify the factors impacting their entrepreneurial journey in the national innovation system and to develop a conceptual framework for the sustainable development of women enterprise leaders to survive through the pandemic. A multiple case study approach is used in this study, in which the data were collected through open-ended interview questions. Interviews were conducted through virtual meetings. Therefore, respondents are not limited to a specific region. Respondents consist of nine female founders who launched their start-ups in Indonesia before the pandemic. The samples were selected through a purposive sampling procedure, in which the snowball referral sampling method is used to approach respondents. Women enterprise leaders manage to survive the pandemic and even continue to expand their businesses through high dedication, perseverance, creativity, collaboration, solid support system; and by means of the government through cooperation, development & promotional support; incubators & accelerators in terms of networking; and financial institutions through their funding program for women entrepreneurs. This study contributes to the existing literature by developing a framework for start-ups to be more resilient and impactful during the pandemic. There is a need for a comparative study in the future between men and women entrepreneurs to analyze the conceptual framework.
