Nomination Title: 28 Year Old Emmy Award-Winning Media Entrepreneur, Natalie MacNeil

Describe for the judges the activities and accomplishments of the nominated entrepreneur since the beginning of July last year (up to 525 words):

Natalie MacNeil may be just 28 years old but she has already won an Emmy Award as a co-producer on the National Film Board's Out My Window, the world's first 360 degree interactive documentary, and created one of the top websites in the world for fellow female entrepreneurs.

SheTakesOnTheWorld.com was recognized in August 2013 on the Forbes list of the “Top 100 Websites for Women.” She Takes on the World went on to win “Website of the Year” at the Stevie Awards for Women in Business later in 2013.

She Takes on the World isn't just a top-rated website. Natalie has turned the platform into a social enterprise that also provides mentorship to women entrepreneurs through The Conquer Club, She Takes on the World's flagship product. The Conquer Club is an online and in-person business incubation program for women around the world.

Natalie launched The Conquer Club in September 2013 with the premiere Conquer Summit, featuring guest experts from a variety of industries and drawing over 5,000 women entrepreneurs to the event. Natalie then took The Conquer Club on the road, hosting and speaking at events in New York, L.A., London, Paris, Toronto, and more, culminating in her "Limitless 2014" event in December 2013. This event drew an awe-inspiring 10,000 participants, an ode to the fast-growing impact She Takes on the World is having under the leadership of Natalie MacNeil.

She Takes on the World is projected to top $1 million in revenue in 2014, up 400% from 2013. Natalie's biggest accomplishment to date though has been using profits from The Conquer Club and She Takes on the World to help build The Conquer Academy in Tanzania in August 2014. Seeing The Conquer Club open to students was the happiest day of Natalie's life so far.

When asked about She Takes on the World's social mission, Natalie said, "It's quite simple: If you get, give. I'm successful because I live in a country that gives me the opportunity to be. There are so many children who will only achieve their dreams if we extend to them the same opportunities we've been given, and every child deserves the foundation that quality education provides."

Around half of the students at The Conquer Academy in Tanzania are orphans, so She Takes on the World's next mission is to help build a new orphanage and provide scholarships for higher education to these students. Natalie also hopes The Conquer Academy in Tanzania will be the first of many, as She Takes on the World increases it's profit margin and has the resources to make a bigger social impact.

Over the last year Natalie has appeared in top media outlets like Glamour, People StyleWatch, Inc., Forbes, ForbesWoman, Wall Street Journal, CNN, and more to elevate the She Takes on the World platform. Being recognized at the Stevie Awards for Women in Business as "2014 Young Entrepreneur of the Year" would further elevate Natalie's mission, and would be the crown on top of an amazing 12 months for this young entrepreneur who is just getting started in what will surely be a career to watch.
