Meet The Masters of Finding A Hook

It used to be that the fashion-savvy and elite would have to jet to Milan to get their hands on the up-to-the-minute trends. Many moons ago, a company would be thrilled to have grown so large that it had to contract drab, boxy office spaces with rows of stuffy cubicles. But it’s 2013, and the game has changed. Meet the new face of small business and entrepreneurship (chat with them live at noon ET on One Hundred Pennies this Sunday):

Rameet Chawla

Capitalizing on Apple’s introduction to the App Store in 2008, Rameet Chawla founded Fueled, a cutting edge mobile app creation and development firm, in New York City in 2009. Three years later, he opened the Fueled Collective– a boutique, open concept office space aimed at inspiring creativity and collaboration between its tenants.

Amber Gordon

After years of styling and editing fashion spreads and content for artists like Gwen Stefani and magazines like British GQ, Amber Gordon struck out on her own. She founded Imagine Fashion – a high-end fashion e-Commerce site where people can purchase the latest collections by the world’s most revered designers instantly from anywhere in 2009.

 

Mallory Blair & Bianca Campuued

Standing just barely over 5 feet tall, Mallory Blair and Bianca Caampued founded Small Girls PR in 2010. Today, their buzz worthy business employs social media strategy, influencer partnerships, online stunts & press-worthy events with digital tie-ins to craft meaningful two-way dialogues between SGPR clients and their consumers. They have even earned features in Forbes and GLAMOUR.

Ray Chew

Ray Chew, Music Director of American Idol, started his professional music career touring with friend of One Hundred Pennies and R&B legend, Melba Moore, when he was just 16. Chew has been featured on over 100 gold and platinum records and even was even acknowledged in Alicia Keys’ 2005 Grammy speech.
