Our founder and CEO, Starr Edwards, has been recognized as an honoree on the Inc. Female Founders 500 list. The annual list celebrates bold and innovative women entrepreneurs who are leading the way in business and creating meaningful impact across industries.

What began in a home kitchen has grown into a nationally recognized brand found in grocery stores, kitchens, and restaurants across the country. Along the way, Starr has remained committed to building a company rooted in purpose, one that values great food, strong partnerships, and creating opportunities for the people and communities around it.

Under her leadership, Bitchin’ Sauce has continued to expand into new retailers, categories, and foodservice partnerships while staying true to the values that started it all. Starr is also a frequent keynote speaker and the author of Sauced: 30 Bitchin’ Bowls, sharing her passion for food, entrepreneurship, and building a values-driven business.

This recognition highlights the dedication, vision, and resilience that have fueled the brand’s growth from the very beginning.

Congratulations to Starr and to all of the inspiring founders recognized on this year’s Female Founders 500.
