She Means Business: Powerful Women Who Built Billion Dollar empires

Women are a force to be reckoned with in the business world! Did you know there are over 11.5 million women-owned businesses in the US alone, generating a whopping $1.7 trillion in sales? Today, we’re celebrating some of these incredible women and the billion-dollar empires they built. Get ready for a dose of inspiration!

Rent the Runway: When Borrowed Becomes Brilliant

Let’s face it, that perfect dress for a special occasion can come with a hefty price tag. This reality sparked a billion-dollar idea for Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss, the founders of Rent the Runway. Launched in 2009, this innovative company allows women to rent designer dresses for a fraction of the retail cost. No more buyer’s remorse – just fashion freedom! Today, Rent the Runway is estimated to be valued at over $1 billion.

Bumble: Empowering Women, One Swipe at a Time

Whitney Wolfe Herd is a true entrepreneur with a story of resilience. After co-founding and working as a marketing VP for Tinder, she bravely left the company due to sexual harassment. But Whitney didn’t let this setback stop her. In 2014, she launched Bumble, a dating app with a unique twist – women make the first move. Bumble’s focus on female empowerment has resonated with millions, and the company is estimated to be worth over $1 billion.

23andMe: Spit in a Tube, Discover Your Roots (and Maybe Your Cousin!)

This company’s name might sound a little strange, but 23andMe is a leader in the field of personal genomics. Founded by Anne Wojcicki, 23andMe uses DNA testing to provide individuals with insights into their genetic makeup and potential health risks. But it doesn’t stop there! 23andMe has also facilitated the reconnection of long-lost families and even helped solve crimes through genetic analysis. This innovative company is now valued at an impressive $2.5 billion.

Eventbrite: From a Black Eyed Peas Concert to a Billion-Dollar Business

Event planning extraordinaire! Julia Hartz and her husband co-founded Eventbrite in 2006. Their big break? Selling a whopping 60,000 tickets to a Black Eyed Peas concert in Central Park! Eventbrite has continued to grow, now offering a platform for event promotion and ticketing for a wide variety of gatherings. The company is estimated to be worth over $2.5 billion.

Leading the Pack: Women at the Helm of Major Corporations

These inspiring stories are just a few examples of the incredible achievements of women in business. Beyond these billion-dollar startups, women are also leading some of America’s most prominent companies, including Regal Cinemas, General Dynamics, The Hershey Company, and even General Motors.
