we proudly present: The Jury for Founders Awards 2021

To encourage long-term, sustainable and equal ownership, Founders Alliance pays attention to women and men in every step of the entrepreneurial journey and honor winners in six categories: from the young founder, through all phases of a company’s growth cycle to the founder who through a lifetime achievement has developed one or more companies, and who embodies a true role model for other founders.

The winners are chosen by large scale founders acting as jury during the Twenty Year Anniversary Founders Awards Gala on September 16, where they will receive The Growth Rings in Gold and Silver.
