Magazine

Founded in 1979 and acquired in 2005 by Mansueto Ventures LLC, Inc. is the only major brand dedicated exclusively to owners and managers of growing private companies, with the aim to deliver real solutions for today’s innovative company builders.

The Women Who’ll Lead Us

WHAT #METOO MEANS FOR SILICON VALLEY • It’s taken a series of scandals to get venture capital firms to (finally) hire female partners.

This Might Make Running a Business Look Easy

The Jargonator • Swatting the buzzwords of business since 2014.

CHICAGO • The nation’s third-largest city boasts the greatest concentration of women founders.

Horror Business

What All-Female Spaces Mean for Founders • The Wing in New York City—whose founder made our Female Founders 100 list (see page 60)—the Coven in Minneapolis: Women-only co-working spaces are spreading. They’re intended to give opportunities to network and build businesses, without fear of gender-based discrimination, distraction, or harassment. We hashed out the issues such spaces raise with two founders who know them well.

KNIT ONE, PURL TWO, BIZ DEV THREE

WE ARE THE NERDS • Reddit’s co-founders patched their fractured friendship to save the company that defined them.

Attracting America’s Top Female Talent • Be flexible and creative – and give the gift of time

Leadership Smarts in 5 Easy Steps • IN AN AFLAC CAREER THAT HAS SPANNED 28 YEARS, JAMIE LEE HAS BENEFITED FROM NUMEROUS MENTORS AS SHE STEADILY PROGRESSED UP THE CORPORATE LADDER.

YES, THERE IS A SHARK TANK BUMP • Going on the ABC founder fest Shark Tank—which starts its 10th season on October 7—doesn’t guarantee a deal with a celebrity investor. But, a detailed Inc. analysis shows, it practically guarantees a revenue boost, especially for the entrepreneurs who’ve appeared on the show in more recent seasons. Which makes sense: As Shark Tank became a cultural mainstay and ratings increased, so did its promotional oomph and the returns of founders who braved its turbulent waters. In other words, the Shark Tank bump is real, so if you can get on the show, do it: A startup’s revenue jumps by an average of 250 percent the year after its founder makes an appearance. As detailed here, though, some businesses see a far more dramatic boost.

Make Nice With the Money People • Congrats on finding investors. Now, how should you keep them happy?

HOW DO YOU CUT A WORK PERK WITHOUT HURTING MORALE? • Advice from the founders of America’s fastest-growing companies.

In the Field • Despite the sport’s declining popularity and aging tracks, and new opportunities to gamble, Belinda Stronach is betting that her company can remake horseracing.

A SPLAT-TACULAR START • CAN YOU TEACH KIDS HOW TO CODE DURING PLAY TIME? UNRULY SPLATS DO JUST THAT.

The Only Opinion That Matters • You want to know what I think of your new business idea? Don’t ask.

HEALING COMMUNITIES ONE ACT AT A TIME • With the Subaru Love Promise, the car company is taking a stand in an age of divisiveness.

FEMALE FOUNDERS 100 • The 100 pioneers, empire-builders, movement makers, innovators, creatives, serial entrepreneurs, and geeks building the most exciting businesses in America.

“Ready to Burn It Down”: Founders Talk Sexism, Money, and Politics

The Post-#MeToo Landscape

Economic and Political Pulse

Balancing Acts
