#22. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to start the ultimate girl boss conference—with inspiring speakers including Jessica Alba and Lauren Conrad? Successfully exit two companies? Start a venture fund that invests solely in female and underrepresented founders?

Jaclyn Johnson launched and sold her first business, No Subject, before the age of 28. She was an investor in female-owned startup, Away, before launching her second multi million-dollar company, Create & Cultivate.
