Amoruso has the rags-to-riches story of which aspiring entrepreneurs dream, launching Nasty Gal from her bedroom in 2006 when she was just 22.
Despite her busy work schedule, Hilton said it was important to her to attend the event. “I was so excited when Sophia contacted me,” said Hilton, who had flown in from a job in Munich and was later going to Ibiza to perform at a concert. “I’ve always admired her and her story.”
Think of it as LinkedIn meets Facebook for millennial businesswomen, featuring a modern take on résumés and networking. It allows women to connect with one another through special features. One of them matches potential collaborators based on their Myers-Briggs personality profiles. “She knows exactly what her audience wants and has already done the hardest part — built a community,” Ohanian continued. “We see countless engineers who’ve built platforms and have never been able to figure out the community-building side of the equation. Her experience and emotional intelligence is an invaluable part of why this is so special.”
Amoruso acknowledged that her new chapter is a real second chance. “I still have a lot to learn, but with Girlboss, I get to right a lot of things that I didn’t know better when I was younger,” she said, “and hopefully build the right culture and hopefully build a sustainable business and hold executives accountable in ways that I didn’t know how to do when I was younger.”
After her previous company filed for bankruptcy, businesswoman and Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso quickly moved into her second act with her company Girlboss.
