25 of the Most Innovative Ideas of 2023 From Women Entrepreneurs

Money is power. We’re on a mission to double the number of women-founded businesses that sustainably scale past 7 figures by 2030.

Because when women build wealth, we all win.

And in 2023, a lot of women WON BIG. And shared their stories, their disruptive ideas, their success and even their struggles with YOU.

We’ve pulled 25 of the most innovative ideas from 2023 from conversations we had with some of the biggest thought leaders in the world and some of our Safi Media clients, and we’re delighted to share them here.
