We Made the Inc. 5000 List Again, and This Win Belongs to Every Entreprenista

We're thrilled to share that Entreprenista Media has been named to the Inc. 5000 list for the second year in a row! We truly believe the community you surround yourself with will determine your success in life and business. So we know this win isn’t just ours, but for all the members of the Entreprenista League, too.

A familiar feeling

Entreprenista is no stranger to the Inc. 5000 list. Long before Entreprenista existed, co-founders Stephanie Cartin and Courtney Spritzer built Socialfly, the social media agency that earned Inc. 5000 recognition in its own right back in 2018 and 2019.

Along the way, they saw firsthand what would later become the heart of Entreprenista: Business growth is a community achievement. Winning means showing up and building genuine relationships. It can look like referring a friend, making an introduction, or telling another founder about a resource that changes the trajectory of her business.  

So when the call came in that Entreprenista made the list again, we knew we needed to celebrate this award with all of you. When you build a mission-driven business that truly serves and supports founders, everything is possible.

Why the Inc. 5000 win matters

The Inc. 5000 is one of the most competitive rankings in the country, and it measures one thing: revenue growth over 3 years. This year's honorees represent diverse industries from healthcare and manufacturing to media and tech. Collectively, these businesses have created hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue.

Making the list once is an accomplishment. Making it again as a company built specifically to champion ambitious founders tells an even more impactful story. One that proves investing in women founders is a real, measurable, scalable business.

Built by the Entreprenista League, for the Entreprenista League

Entreprenista continues to grow because of every single one of you. And the more we grow, the more opportunities there are for every member.

Every founder who joins the Entreprenista League, who attends Founders Weekend, who listens to the podcast, who applies to win an Entreprenista 100 award, helps build something bigger than any one business. We now support a community of over 4,000 women founders while reaching millions more every month across our social media channels, email newsletter, in person and virtual events, and more. Our reach and growth come from our community that chooses to invest in each other.

If you’re not yet an official member of the Entreprenista League, join us inside so you, too, can be supported every step of the way,

As Stephanie put it when we first celebrated our Inc. 5000 win, "There is enough business opportunity for everyone when we connect and share winning strategies." And this belief remains the foundation of everything we build. It reflects our Entreprenista ethos: “Give First, Grow Together.”

What's next

In the months ahead, look for more ways to connect with founders at every stage, expanded Founders Weekend programming in 2027, and a new class of Entreprenista 100 honorees culminating in a nationwide celebration of women founders on International Women’s Day on March 8, 2027. Award applications for the Entreprenista 100 Awards will open on September 8, 2026!

Stephanie and Courtney created Entreprenista with the belief that women founders deserve recognition, resources, and the right relationships to grow. Earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 for the second year in a row is proof of what’s possible when women founders are supported by a community who wants to see them win.
