RANTOUL, Ill., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inc. today announced its third annual Female Founders 100 list, honoring an influential, ambitious, and diverse group of 100 women who are building America's most inspiring businesses.
The final list honors entrepreneurs of every age, background, and geography—from very early-stage founders with world-changing ideas to women who have taken companies public, sold them to big buyers, or spent decades building and running their businesses. These women are leading innovative companies in a vast range of global industries, including tech, retail, finance, fitness, health care, consumer products, food, and more.
"I am honored to be included in this exclusive list of incredible women. In the day to day persistence and challenges of running a business I sometimes forget to pause and celebrate the wins. I appreciate the recognition and celebration of the Female Founders 100 list offers," Betty Brennan.
Betty has been leading the Taylor Studios team since 1991, creating timeless exhibits for museums, nature centers and other organizations across the country. With her oversight, Taylor Studios has completed over 700 projects in 44 states and four countries in the last 29 years ranging from $500 to over $3 million each. As president, she implements the strategic goals and objectives of the company while giving direction and leadership toward the achievement of the company's philosophy, mission, and strategy. She also oversees all departments ensuring the entire organization runs in accordance with Taylor Studios' high standards.
An active contributor, Betty stays highly involved in the nature and business communities. She's been recognized as 2016's Most Innovative Business Leader by AI Magazine; featured in Success Magazine; nationally recognized on the Inc. 500 and the Inc. 5000 twice; regionally famed as an Outstanding Woman You Should Know by local media; and published in a confetti of other resources. Under her leadership, Taylor Studios continues to innovate and thrive in the exhibition industry.
Inc. editors and writers spent the past year researching candidates for the list, considering a wealth of exciting and accomplished candidates. For the first time, Inc. also invited founders to apply for the list—and to nominate another founder who has particularly impressed them. Each of the founders selected has left her mark on her industry in the past year, by setting audacious goals or by achieving business milestones. Taken together, they represent the female-led future of business.
"Our team vetted thousands of applications to find the 100 women highlighted on this list. It's the most inspiring work we do all year, and we're so thrilled to be able to feature these fierce, accomplished entrepreneurs and start to give them the recognition they deserve," said Inc. editor-at-large Kimberly Weisul.
