Rashmi Sinha Age: 42 Company: SlideShare Founded: 2007 The India-born Sinha received her Ph.D in psychology from Brown University in 1998, but the lab bored her; she ended up moving into software development instead. She founded user experience consulting company Uzanto in 2003, which led to Sinha's newest venture, SlideShare, a platform that allows users to share presentations on the web. "Being an entrepreneur is hard. So many nights you go to sleep thinking about a problem that seems intractable," she says. "But you get up the next day, refreshed, and attack the problem with renewed vigor." Sinha's persistence has paid off. In May, LinkedIn (LNKD) acquired SlideShare for about $119 million. |
