What is Inc.'s Female Founders?

Despite the challenges—and there have been many in the past year—entrepreneurs continue to do what they do best: improvise, adapt, and make something from nothing. The women on Inc.'s annual Female Founders 100 show how to do just that. If you're an inspiring, creative, tenacious, trailblazing role model in entrepreneurship, we want to celebrate all that you've accomplished. You're in good company: Past years have honored such game-changing leaders as Jessica Alba, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sallie Krawcheck, Rihanna, Alli Webb, Anne Wojcicki, and Shonda Rhimes.

Applications for the 2023 Inc. Female Founders award are now closed.

Sign up here to be notified once applications for the 2024 award are open.
