The Inc 500 Female Founders List Honors WIE Suite Members

Inc.'s 2026 Female Founders 500 list celebrates the achievements of 500 outstanding women entrepreneurs who have made significant impacts across various industries.

This year's honorees include ShopMy founder Tiffany Lopinsky, Kendra Scott, founder of her eponymous jewelry brand; and Amber Venz Box, founder of LTK. This year's list has collectively generated approximately $12.3 billion in 2025 revenue and $12.2 billion in funding to date.

The selection process uses a different, more holistic methodology than the standard Inc. 5000, combining quantitative financial data (revenue growth and funding) with qualitative metrics such as social media momentum, brand impact, and leadership innovation. While the standard list focuses primarily on revenue growth percentage, the Female Founders list honors women-led businesses, including for-profit and non-profits, demonstrating strong leadership.

"They’ve been told no more times than they can count. They’ve sat in rooms where there were no other women. They’ve seen and experienced gender disparity in access to venture capital dollars. And yet, with vision, resilience, and determination, they’ve persevered and prospered." - Inc.com

Huge congratulations to the incredible WIE Suite members who have earned a spot on Inc's 2026 Female Founders 500 list!

Building a company is no small thing. Building one that grows at this level takes vision, resilience, and an enormous amount of behind-the-scenes work that most people never see. Please join us in celebrating:
