In spite of challenges—and there have been many in the past couple years—entrepreneurs continue to do what they do best: improvise, adapt, and make something from nothing. The women on Inc.’s annual Female Founders 250 show how to do just that. If you’re an inspiring, creative, tenacious, trailblazing role model in entrepreneurship, we want to celebrate all that you’ve accomplished. You're in good company: Recent years have honored such game-changing leaders as Jessica Alba, Tracee Ellis Ross, Salle Krawcheck, Rihanna, Alli Webb, Anne Wojcicki, and Shonda Rhimes.
