After sharpening her chops in the financial industry, Rati opened the fashion-forward Anica boutique in San Francisco's hip Russian Hill neighborhood. Setting out to fill the void of avant-garde designers in the city, Anica acquired a significant following, especially for the store's luxury consignment selection, which featured specialty and vintage pieces. In addition, Anica built a large online presence, with e-commerce sales comprising 50% of business. Rati combined her consignment and e-commerce success when she joined CEO Julie Wainwright and <a href="https://www.therealreal.com/">The RealReal</a>. Now both a mother and an entrepreneur, Rati cites the creative selling process as the most fulfilling part of working at The RealReal, as well as the access to the world's most beautiful and unique fashion.

After their parents moved from New York to the West Coast, their steady supply of homemade dumplings came to a screeching halt, leaving the two to search for dumplings just the way mom made them all around New York City. The only problem was that no one cooked like mom, with pasture-raised meat and organic and local vegetables. After 2 years of searching, Hannah and Marian opened <a href="http://www.mimichengs.com/">Mimi Cheng’s Dumplings</a> in New York City’s East Village. All the dumplings are based on and hold true to their mom's recipes, while the monthly specials are less traditional.
