37. Amy Parker + Gina Pell, co-creators of The What, on being BFFs in business, creating a community for women to support women, how they define success, & all the lovely things that are fit to list

Mar 20, 2019

Amy Parker and Gina Pell are the creators of The What, the best thing to come to your inbox since the spam folder. The What is a clever list for curious people delivered every Wednesday, lovingly curated by these two BFFs on a mission to spark intellect and whet appetites.

 

And these two girls are dot com OGs! They started their previous company, Splendora, all the way back in 1999 and then sold it in 2011. But this time, instead of building an internet empire, they’re just trying to spread the love; what they loved learning about in the past week, a friend that’s so badass they’re impossible not to love, and anything else that fills their heart with joy.
