What is the Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies List?

Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list is an annual ranking that recognizes the world’s most impactful and inspiring companies.

This prestigious list is made up of businesses that have made a significant impact in their industry ‒ from healthcare to tech, and everything in-between.

In 2023, the Fast Company Most Innovative Companies list includes trailblazers like Disney, Tiffany & Co (😍), and OpenAI.

Why Peanut?

  • We introduced audio-only Pods to the app, to help women have live group chats without the pressure of video.
  • We developed Peanut Pro, to help professionals, like baby sleep consultants and breastfeeding advisors, to connect with and help our Community.
  • We expanded the Peanut app to include Menopause, one of the most underrepresented and under-supported communities in womankind.
  • We created the ‘Mute Keywords’ feature, so you don’t have to see content in the Peanut app that you don’t want to see.
  • We designed custom-learning spam detection algorithms to prevent certain types of spam in the Peanut app ‒ so you have a better experience.
  • We’ve launched campaigns like the #RenamingRevolution and #ReframingRevolution, to challenge and reform outdated or unrepresentative medical terminology and pictures.
  • We set up in-app Topics, so you can customize what you see on Peanut ‒ we’re all different, but there’s something for everyone on the Peanut app!

What’s next for Peanut?

We’re always looking for ways to innovate at Team Peanut ‒ we want to have the best possible, safest space for all women to connect.

But we have to keep some things secret ‒ just for a while ‒ so you’ll have to just wait and see.

We’re also open to new ways we can embrace more innovation, so if you have a ground-breaking idea, we want to hear from you!

One thing’s for sure: as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2023, the sky’s the limit for Peanut.
