Monthly summit reach
Every month, the summit will be promoted across multiple established
Facebook communities with a combined audience of over 1 Million Members.
Top 500 Women in Business is an ecosystem designed to help the right people discover you, hear your story, connect with your work and open new opportunities.
The Global Vision
Women are not waiting for history. We are creating it.
A woman who has the courage to build a business is already creating an impact greater than anyone can describe.
She may have begun while raising a family, breastfeeding a baby, changing careers, starting again or rebuilding after losing everything. She may be in the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe, India, Africa, Australia or anywhere else in the world.
Her country does not separate her from another woman who understands what it takes to keep going. With the right women beside her and the courage to build something for herself, she creates opportunities for her family, her clients and the women watching her.
This project exists to celebrate that courage, connect those
women and place their stories inside a room the world can see.
What Top 500 Women in Business Actually Is
Bigger than a summit. Bigger than a podcast. Bigger than a YouTube series.
Top 500 Women in Business is an entire visibility ecosystem for the woman who is tired of one off opportunities.
It is a global interview, media and visibility experience that culminates in a live online summit from 11 to 23 April 2027.
Every accepted woman will be interviewed. Every accepted woman will be featured in the main summit. Every story will have more than one opportunity to be discovered.
We are interested in the truth behind the title. The decision. The risk. The reinvention. The moment you nearly stopped and the reason you kept going.
This is not about proving that you are smarter or better than another woman. It is about standing beside her.
Why This Is Different
You will not be featured once and forgotten the next day.
You enter a room of 500 collaborators
You stand beside women who can become clients, partners, referral connections and the beginning of your next opportunity.
Your campaign begins after your interview
We do not wait until April to speak about you. Once your interview is complete and your content is ready, your visibility begins and continues through the campaign.
A Summit Built for the World
You are not just joining another summit. You become living proof of what happens when a woman decides to believe in herself and begin.
You are standing beside 499 women who chose courage. Every story becomes another reason for a woman watching to take action, step into her power and build the business she has always wanted for herself and her family.

You started before you felt ready, changed direction, rebuilt or created your own opportunity.
You have something honest to share

You will support other women
You believe visibility grows when women introduce, promote and champion one another.

Meet the Founder
I know what becomes possible when women stop waiting for permission and build the room together.
I am Andreea Sandu, founder of Top Women in Business, business strategist and event organiser.
Since 2023, I have produced and cohosted six online summits, created 267 speaker opportunities and attracted more than 14,700 registrations.
I have built businesses, rebuilt my life and changed industries. I learned that the story behind the woman is often more powerful than the strategy everyone sees from the outside.
Too many brilliant women are waiting to be discovered. We are not waiting anymore. We are building the platform, the room and the relationships ourselves.
We are here to make history and to create one of the most powerful global summits you have ever taken part in.
Andreea S.
Founder, Top Women in Business
Before You Apply
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay to apply?
No. There is no fee to apply. Every application is reviewed for story, fit and alignment.
Only accepted women are invited to pay the £197 participation fee. You can pay in full or choose from the available two, three or four-payment plans.
Does payment guarantee selection or recognition?
No. Payment does not buy recognition, ranking, an award or acceptance.
Applications are reviewed first for story, fit and alignment. No payment is requested before selection.
Why is there a participation fee?
The participation fee contributes to the administration, coordination, production and delivery of your complete speaker experience.
This includes your interview, live global roundtable, promotional assets, speaker community and campaign coordination.
Do I need a large audience or a six figure business?
No. You do not need to be famous, have a huge following or run a six-figure business.
You must be actively building a business, brand, mission or body of work and have an active email list of at least 100 people.

You can also receive 50% commission from eligible speaker participation fees referred through your personal referral link.
What happens if I secure my place and later withdraw?
Once your place is secured, production, administration and campaign resources are allocated to your participation.
Participation fees are therefore non-refundable and non-transferable if you later decide to withdraw.
