A.Gaining the support and help from her parents.
Juliette Brindak started a social networking site for teens when she was 16,and it's doing better than ever.Miss O And Friends generates 10 million monthly visits,a twenty-fold increase from itsinception in 2005.It's also worth around$15 million,according to early investor Procter&Gamble.
When she was ten,Brindak drew characters for a set of five friends she called“Cool Girls,” who were all inspired by real-life girls.The main cool girl,Miss O, represents her younger sister Olivia.The set of “Cool Girls”would eventually become Miss O And Friends .In the beginning, like manystart -ups , Brindak reached out to family members and friends for investment money.Her mother,a graphic designer,brought her drawings to life while her father, who has a background in business, aided in the fundamentals of creating the company.
The site took off and was ranked the third largest girls-only website in 2011,according toInc.Magazine .Now, at 23,Brindak isn't in tune with what teen girls are looking for,so she uses the site as an avenue to understand their needs.Throughpolls , quizzes, and the “Girl2Girl Wall”, members are able to keep Brindak updated.
