Entrepreneur awards for women founders who refuse to do business as usual.
Building a company that puts culture first? Prioritizing flexibility over crusty corporate rules? Proving you don’t need to sacrifice your values to scale? This is for you. The V-List honors US-based women entrepreneurs who are rewriting the rules — building businesses that prioritize people over profit, impacting communities, and human-first culture and practices.
Applications open again in 2027
What is the V-List?
The V-List is Visionaries’ annual awards program celebrating women (or non-binary) entrepreneurs who are building businesses that actually give a sh*t about people, culture, and showing up with integrity. (We’re not saying “eff the patriarchy”… but we’re not not saying that either 😉)
We recognize exceptional founders in two tiers:
V-List Honorees are the core of this program. These are women building businesses across every industry, revenue stage, and business model — the common thread is that they’re doing it with intention and integrity.
Spotlight Awards are chosen from the V-List Honorees and recognize 25 specific achievements — from Visionary of the Year to industry-specific honors like Tech Founder of the Year and Personal Brand of the Year. These awards are announced live at the Visionary conference each fall. All V-List Honorees are also eligible for the People’s Choice Award, which is decided by public vote.
