COFOUNDER, CHOOSY“Millions of women around
the world are expressing
their buying intent over so-
cial media,” says Jessie Zeng,
cofounder of e-tailer Choosy.
With algorithms that act like
style sleuths, Choosy scans
social posts to spot the hot-
test looks. Choosy then
makes up to 25 new products
a month. Zeng is on pace for
$6 million in sales in 2019
and has raised over $10 mil-
lion in funding. A Wellesley
graduate, Zeng traded cur-
rencies, moonlighted as a
fashion blogger and in 2017
launched the company. To
avoid fl ops, she uses Chinese
factories that can make as
few as 80 units. Hits are re-
stocked fast. —Lauren Debt-
