The year 2025 is shaping up to be full of fresh ideas, bold decisions, and inspiring stories. Leading the way are some truly remarkable women entrepreneurs. These women are not just building businesses; they are creating meaningful change in their industries and communities. From technology and fashion to wellness and finance, they are challenging norms and setting new standards. Whether they are experienced founders or emerging voices, each one brings something powerful and unique. This list highlights thirty women who deserve your attention in the coming year.

Lindsay French 

Lindsay French is the founder of Hippie & French, a cannabis boutique in Pittsburgh known for its warm, welcoming vibe and no-pressure approach. After overcoming a long and painful struggle with prescription opioid addiction, Lindsay discovered how low-dose cannabis and plant-based remedies could support real healing. That turning point led her to open a space where others could explore these options safely and without judgment.

With a background in corporate sales, Lindsay saw firsthand what didn’t work: high-pressure pitches, surface-level conversations, and selling just to hit numbers. So she did the opposite. At Hippie & French, it’s all about honest guidance, listening before suggesting, and helping people feel more in control of their wellness journey.

She is also a passionate advocate for justice in the cannabis space, supporting causes like the Last Prisoner Project and Policing Equity. For Lindsay, it’s not just about selling products, it’s about showing up for people who need care, clarity, and community. Her story is proof that real change starts small, with one person choosing to do things differently.

A deep respect for materials, culture, and environment shapes her work. Whether designing a building or shaping a piece of clay, she focuses on how things feel as much as how they function. Her style blends structure with spontaneity, modern design with the quiet influence of her Peruvian roots.
