Melanie Elturk Named in Inc.’s 2019 Female Founders 100 List

[ad_1]

We’re determined to make hijabs Muslim women always wished they had—or the ones they never imagined were possible.

Melanie Elturk Named in Inc.’s 2019 Female Founders 100 List

Melanie Elturk joins the second annual list of women building America’s most inspiring businesses, along with Rebecca Minkoff, Sallie Krawcheck, Serena Williams, Audrey Gelman, Rihanna, Alli Webb, and Eileen Fisher.

Inc. announced its second annual Female Founders 100 list, honoring an influential, ambitious, and diverse group of 100 women who have transformed every major industry in America.

The final list honors entrepreneurs of every age, background and locale. These women are building and leading innovative companies in a vast range of global industries, including tech, fashion, finance, fitness, consumer products, food, and more.

“As the leading US hijab brand, we serve the hijab-wearing woman with products that elevate her hijab, and more importantly, empower her to feel comfortable and confident in her identity as a Muslim woman,” says Elturk.

Haute Hijab made headlines with their Luxury Collection, launched in early 2018, featured in Elle, Glamour, and Vogue Arabia. The next major collection was Underscarves – merging cutting-edge fabric technology with meticulous design. With this collection they spearheaded a new category of sustainability and wellness-focused hijabs.

The Heritage Collection is the most recent that fuses the brand’s vintage legacy with Islamic art elements. Currently, Haute Hijab is focused on an athletic option to rival Nike’s foray into the hijab market expected to launch in 2020. With almost a year into research and development, they understand an athletics hijab is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

“We’re creating different options depending on the level of athleticism with an emphasis on innovative textiles and sleek design. It’s not enough for us to make good hijabs; we’re determined to make hijabs Muslim women always wished they had—or the ones they never imagined were possible,” explains Elturk.

Inc. editors and writers spent the past year researching a wealth of exciting and accomplished candidates for the list. The founders selected have each made their mark on their industry in the past year, by setting audacious goals or by achieving business milestones. Taken together, they represent the female-led future of business.

“This year’s Female Founders 100 showcases the vast and diverse array of female entrepreneurship in America. From the young women whose startups are transforming financial services and tech, to veteran CEOs who have run iconic fitness and food companies for decades, these women are leading many of the most innovative businesses today,” says Maria Aspan, editor-at-large of Inc.

To see the complete list go to:

https://www.inc.com/2019-female-founders-100

Introduced in 2018, the Female Founders 100 list quickly established itself as one of Inc.’s most esteemed franchises. This year’s package includes a cover story on The Wing co-founder Audrey Gelman, who makes history as the first visibly pregnant CEO on the cover of a mainstream business magazine; and a survey, done in concert with Inc. sister publication Fast Company, of more than 600 of the world’s top female founders discussing the state of women and entrepreneurship.

Teen Drivers can Save Car Insurance Money if They Follow the Next Tips

[ad_1]

News Image

“Teens can reduce the financial burden represented by the auto insurance. Choosing the right coverage options and keeping a responsible driving behavior will help a lot”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that informs teen drivers how to get affordable car insurance.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/how-to-get-cheaper-car-insurance-for-teens/.

Teens are aware that insurance rates are extremely expensive. Their lack of experience behind the wheel and risky behaviors associated with age will make any insurer consider teens high-risk drivers. However, there are several ways to lower the costs.

Check if being added to a family plan is an advantageous deal. In this way, the teen may take advantage of several discounts offered to his parents. However, this idea may backfire, since some companies may rate the teen to all available vehicles, thus increasing the overall costs. It is wise to get online quotes, talk with insurance reps and compare costs.

Being a safe driver is extremely important. The first six months of driving for a teen are critical for lowering the car insurance rate. If he/her manage to keep the record clean for the first six months, the insurer may lower the costs upon renewal.

Students with good grades will receive a discount. A 3.0 grade point average or higher is enough for most insurers to be eligible for this discount that can range from five to ten percent.

This blog post describes more ways to save money on car insurance, including enrolling in defensive driving classes or letting the insurer monitor the teen’s driving habits.
