Be recognized as a Trailblazing Entreprenista who is changing the world

The Entreprenista 100 is open to women business owners based in the United States who are 18 or older. To qualify, your business must have a woman founder or at least one active woman co-founder. Each category may have additional criteria, so please refer to our category descriptions for details. Each company may submit only one entry, but if there are two or more founders, you can indicate this on the application. Full terms and conditions will be provided when applications open to the public.

You've worked tirelessly to achieve entrepreneurial success, and we want to celebrate your accomplishments! Here’s what you’ll gain by winning an Entreprenista 100 Award:

Additional prizes will be announced when applications open to the public.

Application fee will be announced when we open for applicants. All application fees are non-refundable.

The Entreprenista 100 Awards are open to all women business owners. You do not have to be a member of The Entreprenista League to apply, but if you join The Entreprenista League you will receive a reduced entry fee. If you’d like to join The Entreprenista League and have a community to support you every step of the way, you may join with this special invitation.

The Entreprenista team and selection committee will review all applications, taking into account growth and achievement – revenue, funding, operational size, impact, and awareness – as well as the compelling-ness of the personal story.

A panel of acclaimed Entreprenista Judges assist in the selection of one winner for each of our top awards, which are to be announced when applications open.

The number one goal of The Entreprenista 100 Awards is to provide a platform for highlighting and celebrating the outstanding accomplishments of women business owners. There are numerous resources that go into the execution of a high caliber awards program, which necessitates the establishment of a small application fee.

The application fee goes directly back into the program to help cover the costs associated with the review, selection, and promotion of the winners, essential technology, and needed assets to ensure the program’s widespread visibility and impact, and more. Additionally, the application fee helps to safeguard the program against fraudulent, spam, and duplicate submissions.

We have taken measures to keep the application fees as low as possible in order to make The Entreprenista 100 Awards accessible to as many women founders as we can, while still being able to run the program effectively.

Outside of The Entreprenista 100 Awards, The Entreprenista League regularly shares complimentary tips, resources, and opportunities for exposure and visibility through our public channels, such as our Instagram account and free, weekly newsletter, “The Entreprenista Agenda”.

Only one application per business will be accepted (i.e. co-founders cannot submit multiple entries for the same business).

The application deadline will be announced shortly.

Details of winner announcements will be provided when applications open.

There will not be a physical award ceremony, but there will be a virtual long-form ceremony to recognize and honor our winners. The date of this event will be shared in early 2025.
