Inc.'s sixth annual Female Founders list highlights entrepreneurs with world-changing companies
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inc. today announced its sixth annual Female Founders list, honoring a bold group of 200 women whose innovations and ideas are shaping the world into a better place.
The founders cross all industries and bring with them unique stories of success from each stage of the entrepreneurial journey — from startup to going public, being acquired by big buyers, or spending decades at the helm of an organization. They are reinventing everything from shoes to food and are challenging issues like financial literacy and reproductive health.
May Habib, CEO of enterprise generative AI company Writer, is one of this year's honorees. Since founding Writer in 2020, Habib has built one of the most formidable generative AI companies, delivering a platform that integrates AI into the expert workflows of professionals in marketing, operations, and support at customers such as Accenture, Spotify, UiPath, L'Oreal, Uber, Intuit, Adore Me, Deloitte, United Healthcare, and Northwestern Mutual.
"It's humbling and inspiring to be included in this list of incredible female founders," said Habib. "I'm extremely proud of the team at Writer and the progress we've made to help our customers gain massive leverage from their generative AI initiatives."
Habib is a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion within the tech industry. The Writer platform was intentionally designed to help employees communicate inclusively and to avoid gendered and biased language, and data scientists at Writer have built generative AI foundation models that contain strong controls against gendered and biased output. Habib has also been a vocal advocate for closing the gender pay gap and creating an equitable workplace, implementing diversity and inclusion policies throughout Writer.
Each year, Inc. editors review thousands of applications highlighting female founders who are challenging the status quo and tackling some of the world's biggest problems. The list features women who have overcome challenges and lifted those around them, while leading impactful organizations across the country. They join the ranks of previous honorees including Jessica Alba, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rihanna, and Shonda Rhimes.
"These 200 female founders have identified solutions to difficult problems and created valuable, industry-changing companies out of them. We congratulate this year's list on their achievements and look forward to their continued success," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk.
