分享: [双语阅读]

来认识一下9位女企业家和一位导师吧。 她们充满激情和抱负,正在努力创造下一家伟大的公司

房地产先知

    张欣和她的丈夫早在1995年就共同创立了自己的房地产公司:SOHO中国有限公司,当时中国的房地产市场还远远没有形成气候。敏锐的市场直觉为她赢得了巨大的回报,SOHO如今已经成为北京最大的房地产开放商。46岁的张欣目前正在上海积极购置资产,其公司目前的营收早已翻了两倍多,高达28亿美元。

The Visionary

    Zhang Xin and her husband founded real estate company SOHO China in 1995, long before construction cranes and high-rises dominated city skylines there. Her market intuition paid off big time: Today publicly traded SOHO is Beijing’s largest real estate developer, Zhang, 46, is aggressively buying property in Shanghai, and revenue has more than doubled, to $2.8 billion.


最有生意头脑的女明星

    36岁的喜剧演员切尔西·汉德勒貌似是这份榜单里的异类,但是她其实还是边界惊奇制作公司(Borderline Amazing Productions)的联合创始人,这家公司目前正在制作4档电视节目。她同时还是一位畅销书作家,经营自己的出版业务。报告显示她去年挣了1,900万美元,看来她的吸金能力还会继续走高。但是汉德勒却对入选一事相当淡然,她说:“这类榜单并没有让我觉得多兴奋。”

The Self-made woman

    Comedian Chelsea Handler, 36, may seem like an unusual addition to our entrepreneur's gallery, but she's co-founder of Borderline Amazing Productions, a company that currently produces four TV shows. She's bestselling author with her own publishing imprint, and her earning power (a reported $19 million last year) seems only to go up. But Handler is blasé about her power-player status. Says she: "it's not like I get some big hard-on from these lists."


年轻的土耳其时尚达人

    30岁的德美特•穆特鲁在哈佛商学院(Harvard Business School)深造期间,就开始梦想着在土耳其创办一个电子商务网站,让时尚进入土耳其大众的生活。她在纽约出生,具有美国和土耳其双重国籍。去年,她创建了购物网站Trendyol。这家网站拥有自己的时尚产品线,每月的访问量高达1,200万。最近它得到了老虎环球基金(Tiger Global)和风险投资公司凯鹏华盈(Kleiner Perkins)的投资。后者是第一次在土耳其进行投资。

The Young Turk

    While studying at Harvard Business School, Demet Mutlu, 30, dreamed of launching an e-commerce site in Turkey (New York –born Mutlu is a citizen of Turkey and the U.S.) that would make fashion accessible to the masses. Last year she launched Trendyol, a shopping site with its own fashion line. Trendyol gets 12 million visitors a month and recently won funding from Tiger Global and Kleiner Perkins- the venture firm’s first-ever bet in Turkey.


传奇回归

    64岁的桑德拉·库特兹格堪称硅谷的传奇人物。1981年,她创立的Ask电脑公司(ASK Group)成为第一家由女性成立的上市公司。现在她携新公司Kenandy归来,这家公司8月份正式成立,主要是将生产管理转移至云端。今年夏天,她毫不费力地得到了风险投资公司凯鹏华盈、Salesforce.com以及律师事务所Wilson Sonsini总计1,050万美元的投资。

The Returnee

    Sandy Kurtzig, 64, is something of a Silicon Valley legend: Her ASK Group was the first female-founded company to go public, in 1981. Now she’s back with Kenandy, a new company –it officially launched in August-that delivers manufacturing management software via the cloud. And she had no trouble finding money: Kleiner Perkins, Salesforce.com, and law firm Wilson Sonsini this past summer ponied up $10.5 million in financing.


婴儿潮银发经济的弄潮儿

    陈素(音译)的公司提供时尚手杖和其他服务,迈入老年、但依然追求享受的婴儿潮一代给她带来了商机。41岁的陈素1993年在美国建立了Nova Ortho-Med公司,并于1995年开发了红色四轮助行器voyager。去年,这家公司的收入达到2,470万美元。今年,随着婴儿潮期间出生的第一代人步入65岁,她的公司有望迎来更大的发展。

The Opportunist

    Sue Chen is capitalizing on aging but vain baby boomers with a line of stylish canes and other ambulatory offerings. Chen, 41, launched Nova Ortho-Med in 1993 and in 1995 introduced the voyager, the first red four-wheeled walker in America. Last year the company’s revenue reached $24.7million-and with the first boomers turning 65 this year, her company is poised to grow even more.


发明发电足球的姊妹花

    杰西卡.O.马修斯和朱莉娅·西尔弗曼在完成哈佛课堂作业时,合作发明了sOccket足球。这种足球能储存运动时产生的动能将其并转化为电能。马修斯和西尔弗曼今年都是23岁,2011年5月她们成立了Uncharted Play公司,希望能够通过它为发展中国家开发出更多的产品。她们的目标是在帮助他人的同时赚到钱。2012年,公司的预计收入为200万美金。

The Social Entrepreneurs

    Jessica O. Matthews and Julia Silverman created the “sOccket,” a soccer ball that stores the kinetic energy produced in play and converts it into power, as a Harvard class project. Now Matthews and Silverman, both 23, hope to come up with more products for the developing world through Uncharted Play, the company they launched in May 2011. Their goal: to help others and make money (projected 2012 revenue: $2 million) along the way.


推广太阳能的环保主义者

    32岁的林恩•朱里奇是杰出的太阳能传道士,逐家推广太阳能。她的太阳能发电设备公司SunRun已成立将近5年,提供民用太阳能。目前,太阳能推广面临的最大障碍是购买及安装太阳能电池板的花费,但是SunRun的创新模式克服了这一障碍。该公司的业务目前已经覆盖9个州,2010年的新增客户达到了5,500户。

The Environmentalist

    Lynn Jurich, 32, is evangelizing solar power, one home at a time. Her nearly five-year-old company, SunRun, provides solar power to homeowners through an innovative arrangement that helps offset one of the main deterrents to going solar: the cost of buying and installing panels. SunRun operates in nine states and added more than 5,500 new customers in 2010.


Facebook首席运营官的女门徒

    克拉拉·史的Hearsay Social软件平台协助大型公司管理雇员在社交网络上的活动。目前,她的公司规模尚小,2010年的营收不足1,000万美元,但她已经成功获得了红杉资本投资公司(Sequoia Capital)和恩颐投资(NEA)总计2,100万美金的融资。此外,29岁的克拉拉还吸引了一位大人物的注意:Facebook首席运营官谢丽尔·桑德伯格目前是她的导师。

The protégée

    Clara Shih’s Hearsay Social, a software platform that helps large companies manage their employees’ presence on social media sites, is small (revenue in 2010 was less than $10 million), but she has raised $21million in financing from venture firms like Sequoia Capital and NEA, and the 29-year-old has caught the eye of one very important backer: Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg is a mentor.


善于吸引眼球的编辑

    在担任美国在线(AOL)编辑部主管之前,61岁的阿里亚娜·赫芬顿(Arianna Huffington)已经建立起个人品牌,后来又打造了自己的媒体帝国。她与肯尼思·莱尔(Kenneth Lerer)在2005年联合创办了赫芬顿邮报网(Huffington Post)。这家网站用比较猥亵的标题来吸引访问者(2011年初,访问量达到了2,800万)。但她努力使博客成为网站的主打内容,并引起了美国在线的注意,后者今年以3.15亿美元收购了这家网站。


最成功的商业教练

    53岁的卡罗尔·里夫斯(Carol Reeves)是当今学术界最成功的商业计划书竞赛顾问。作为阿肯色大学萨姆·沃尔顿商学院的管理学副教授,她不久前担任其学生、生物技术公司BiologicsMD的创始人的顾问。这家公司去年赢得了五次商业计划书比赛,其中包括“莱斯商业计划书比赛”(Rice Business Plan Competition),获得了63万美元的现金、奖品和投资。
