maintaining woman owned business while taking on investor
user
in addition to finding another woman investor, you have an equitable option that is not unreasonable: ask your partner to buy out 3% worth of shares from you (which then gives her 54%, allowing you to then sell 5% to an investor and have it not dilute her below 51%: .54 * .95 = .513).   that keeps you whole but also keeps your woman-owned-business status.
