Marc Lore

As young as 4 years old, I always wanted to be a farmer, because they grow stuff from nothing. And while I didn’t become a farmer in the literal sense, the intrinsic desire to make things grow, whether that be a business or an individual’s career, is still very much alive. In fact, this, combined with a desire to take risk and to push things where they’ve never been before, is what fuels me. I’m a serial entrepreneur who’s started and sold four companies. Most recently Jet.com, which we sold to Walmart for $3.3 billion in 2016 and prior to that, Diapers.com/Quidsi which sold to Amazon in 2011 for $550 million. I host Startup Standup, a series where I mentor and advise female founders who are preparing to secure their first (or next!) round of institutional funding.
