Points come from verified awards and community-voted wins. Money never buys points, levels or votes.

Questions

What belongs in Founder & people awards?

Honours given to a named individual for what they built or led: founder titles, rising-star and young-founder lists, women-in-business awards and leadership prizes. Awards given to a product, a feature or a company as a whole belong in other categories on the site.

How do I choose between the subcategories?

Go by what the award actually recognises. A title for a single standout founder fits founder of the year. A ranked or curated list of emerging names fits rising stars. Pick women in business or leadership when the award's own wording makes that its central theme.

How do I get a listing into this category?

Go to /submit and paste your website address. An AI drafts the profile from that site, then you check and edit every field before anything goes live. Choose this category as your main one. A free listing waits in a queue of about 6-8 weeks.

Can a business appear in more than one people-award subcategory?

Every listing has a single main category, chosen at submission and included free. If the same founder has won across several kinds of honour, a paid upgrade adds up to 3 more categories for $5, so the wins sit on every relevant shelf.

What should I look for when comparing people awards?

Check who awards it and how the winner is chosen: a judged panel, an application process or a public vote. Look for a named recipient, a clear reason for the honour and a link to the announcement. Awards with open criteria tell you most.
