Inc., the leading media brand for entrepreneurs and business leaders, has named Kim Snyder, founder and CEO of KlariVis, to its eighth annual Female Founders 500 list. This prestigious recognition honors 500 women whose innovation, resilience, and leadership are shaping industries and driving solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges.
Each year, Inc. editors review thousands of applications, evaluating founders through a rigorous three-round judging process. Selection criteria include quantifiable business growth metrics such as revenue, sales, funding, and audience reach, as well as qualitative factors like industry impact, social influence, and company mission. The honorees on this year’s list collectively generated $9 billion in revenue and secured $10.6 billion in funding in 2024.
Honoree selection is also honed through the evaluation of the program’s advisory board: Cate Luzio, founder and CEO of Luminary; Dany Garcia, founder, CEO, and chairperson of the Garcia Companies; Pinky Cole Hayes, founder and CEO of Slutty Vegan; Anu Duggal, founding partner at Female Founders Fund; Katherine Power, serial entrepreneur and partner at Greycroft; Tiffany Dufu, president of the Tory Burch Foundation and founder of the Cru; and Kay Koplovitz, co-founder and chair at Springboard Enterprises, founder of USA Network.
"It’s an honor to be included among this incredible group of trailblazing women who are shaping the future of their industries," said Kim Snyder, CEO and founder of KlariVis. "I hope this recognition continues to inspire more women to take the lead in banking and fintech, driving innovation and creating a stronger future for community financial institutions."
Under Snyder’s leadership, KlariVis has expanded its reach across 35 states and counting, transforming how financial institutions nationwide harness data for growth and efficiency. From coast to coast, banks are turning to KlariVis as the go-to solution for unlocking the power of their data—proof that the demand for smarter, data-driven banking has never been greater. Over the past year, KlariVis and Snyder have been recognized with multiple industry accolades, including:
