NEW YORK, NY, March 24, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Airpals is proud to announce that Joshe Ordonez has been named to Inc.'s 2026 Female Founders 500 an annual list honoring the most dynamic women business leaders in the United States. The honor recognizes founders whose bold ideas, resilience, and execution are shaping the future of their industries.

The 2026 Female Founders honorees collectively generated approximately $12.3 billion in 2025 revenue and $12.2 billion in funding to date, underscoring the economic impact of women-led businesses across sectors.

Each year, Inc. editors evaluate applications through a rigorous, multi-round selection process. Founders are assessed on both quantitative performance metrics, including

revenue growth, funding, sales, and audience size, as well as qualitative factors such as innovation, social impact, and brand momentum. The final list represents entrepreneurs who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and measurable progress over the past year. Previous honorees have included such game-changing leaders as Billie Jean King, Sallie Krawcheck, Serena Williams, and Emma Grede — all of whom have transformed their industries and broken barriers along the way.

"I'm grateful to be recognized alongside such an inspiring group of founders," said Joshe Ordonez, Founder and CEO of Airpals. "This recognition belongs to the team, our customers, and the many people who believed in this journey. What motivates us at Airpals is simple: human potential shouldn't be wasted on back-office tasks like workplace logistics. We're building tools that give operators their time back so they can focus on the work that helps them grow and advance."

Honoree selection is also honed through the evaluation of the program's advisory board, which includes Patty Arvielo, co-founder and CEO of New American Funding; Tiffany Dufu, president of the Tory Burch Foundation; Joy Mangano, co-founder and CEO of CleanBoss; Michelle Cordeiro Grant, founder and CEO of GORGIE; Sheila Lirio Marcelo, co-founder and CEO of Ohai.ai and founder of Care.com; and Melissa Mash, co-founder and CEO of Dagne Dover.

Airpals has grown from an early-stage courier marketplace into a logistics platform supporting workplace shipping operations across the United States. The company has expanded its same-day delivery capabilities to more than 100 U.S. cities while building a platform designed to bring greater visibility and control to internal parcel shipping.

In recent years, Airpals has also expanded into new markets, including Miami, Boston and San Francisco, while continuing to develop its parcel management platform for workplace operations and facilities teams. The platform integrates same-day delivery coordination, multi-carrier shipping, and parcel oversight tools into one system, helping teams manage shipping activity across teams and locations.

Together, these milestones underscore Airpals' focus on removing the operational drag of workplace logistics so teams can dedicate their time to work that truly moves their organizations forward.

"Each year, we are increasingly amazed by the extraordinary leaders on our Inc. Female Founders 500 list," says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. "The honorees on this year's list include innovators in AI, beauty and wellness trendsetters winning devoted fans, and nonprofit leaders making a real impact in their communities.
