Rebel Girls is a global, multi-platform empowerment brand for Generation Alpha girls, built around true stories of extraordinary women. What began as a record-breaking Kickstarter book, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, has grown into a franchise of best-selling books, an award-winning podcast, an Apple Design Award-winning app, and a licensed merchandise line. A certified B Corporation and Women-Owned business, Rebel Girls has sold roughly 13 million books across 62 languages, logged more than 30 million podcast downloads, and set a goal of reaching 50 million girls.
HOOKED is a mobile entertainment company that pioneered "chat fiction" - bite-sized stories told as text-message conversations between characters, designed to be read in about five minutes. Built by husband-and-wife founders Prerna Gupta and Parag Chordia under the company Telepathic Inc., the app turned suspense and horror into thumb-tapping cliffhangers and reached tens of millions of mostly teen and young-adult readers, repeatedly topping the App Store charts in dozens of countries.
