The founders and their companies are ranked based on the Founders Alliance (FA) Index, which takes into account past performances, future potential and societal achievements.
To pay attention to the highest performing founders in several company development phases, and to highlight female and male winners, Founder of the Year is awarded to male and female founders in three categories based on financial results the year prior.
In the category Founders of Large Size Companies are active founders of a company with a revenue of more than 50 MEUR with at least 20% ownership in a profitable company.
