Apply to the Business Ideas List for Women Entrepreneurs

Female Entrepreneur: Do you think you’re guaranteed to be on the Fortune 500? Great. So might we.

We’re calling for entries for this year’s Brilliant Business Ideas list, our annual roundup of innovative, women-led concepts to watch in 2024 and beyond.

By April 1st, we want to hear from women business owners who have recently started up-and-coming companies that are doing something truly special.

Bottom line: If you’re an entrepreneur working on tomorrow’s next big thing, this is the list for you today.

Finalists for the 2024 Brilliant Business Ideas list will be recognized on our site later this spring, shared with media partners, and may be featured in a video profile. The players selected for 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
