2013《财富》最具影响力的女创业家
丽萨•斯通 • 公司:女性博客网站BlogHer • 年龄:46岁 2005年初,斯通和其联合创始人爱丽莎•卡玛赫特和朱瑞•德斯•贾丁斯发现,使用博客的女性规模庞大,但主流媒体却很少会引用她们的文章。于是,三人决定召开一次草根会议,并吸引了谷歌和雅虎(Yahoo)等赞助商。门票很快销售一空,不久,她们便成立了BlogHer.com。这个博客发布平台把撰写博客变成了许多女性可以用来赚钱的一项业务——2009年至2012年期间,这家公司向5,000名博主支付了超过2,500万美元。目前,这个平台的用户已经超过9,200万人。 |
Lisa Stone • Company: BlogHer • Age: 46 In early 2005, Stone and her co-founders Elisa Camahort Page and Jory Des Jardins noticed that there were countless women blogging, but mainstream media rarely linked to their posts. The trio decided to host a grassroots conference that year and attracted sponsors like Google and Yahoo. It quickly sold out and soon after, they launched BlogHer.com. The publishing platform turned blogging into a lucrative business for many women -- it paid $25 million to 5,000 of its bloggers between 2009 and 2012 -- and now reaches an audience of 92 million. |
