It has been a time of amazing growth for female founders, CEOs and entrepreneurs. But this journey hasn’t been easy. We’ve had to overcome structural inequalities, outdated stereotypes and institutionalized discrimination to get where we are today. As a fellow Female Founder myself, I’ve had to compete with $1M in funding to scale TaxTaker while my competitors had up to $100M.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most innovative, influential and supportive businesswomen from all walks of life and wanted to highlight some of my favorite Female Founders who are not only inspirational but are also caring individuals who give back to their communities.
