Ca nva Design made E PA
“

Melanie Perkins, the co-founder of
Canva, turned her design frustration
into a 540 billion company. She
basically said, "If | can't design it, I'll
design the tool to design it!"

5. Bumble

Whitney Wolfe Herd didn't just swipe left
on bad dates; she swiped right on a 52
billion idea. Bumble lets women
make the first move — proving that when
women lead, good things happen... like
avoiding bad pickup lines!

6. Meta

Sheryl Sandberg, the former COO of
Meta, helped transform Facebook into
a tech giant, all while telling women to
“lean in.” Turns out, leaning in was also
good for the company's stock price!

7. Stitch Fix

Katrina Lake, founder of Stitch Fix,
created a personal shopping service
powered by data. Because who
wouldn't want to outsource their
wardrobe decisions to an algorithm?
Finally, a computer that understands
our fashion needs better than we do

8. RENT THE RUNWAY

Rent the
Runway

Jenn Hyman's Rent the Runway lets
you borrow designer dresses
because why buy the dress when
you can rent it, wear it, and return it
before the dry-cleaning bill hits?
Plus, it’s easier than explaining why
you “needed” another little black
dress
