Check out what some really smart women are doing as entrepreneurs…
Women may be underrepresented throughout the tech sector, but they’re still building some incredible startups, apps, and products.
The folks over at Product Hunt have created and curated a collection of the best startups and products founded by inspiring women. VCs, entrepreneurs, and Product Hunt members have all weighed in on their favorites.
From uBeam’s innovative wireless charging technology to Hopscotch’s program for teaching kids how to code, the products women are making are changing the world.
Luzme
Rachel Willmer had just bought an e-reader before going on vacation in 2008, but she quickly stumbled across some problems while trying to load books onto the reader. Some stores didn’t carry the right format for her e-reader; some were too expensive; and others wouldn’t sell her a book because she was in a different country.
Hitlist lets you build wishlists of places you want to travel to. When there are fare deals for those places, Hitlist will send you an alert so you can buy tickets cheap. There’s a social aspect to Hotlist too: you connect via Facebook and can see where your friends are planning trips.
Founded by Gillian Morris and built by her startup TripCommon, Hitlist competes against apps like Kayak and HotelTonight.
Fittr
Whether you’re a gym rat with an everyday regimen or a couch potato looking to get some exercise, Fittr wants to help you reach your goals. You tell Fittr how in shape you are and enter tags like “apartment” or “lifting” to let the app know how much equipment you’re working with. Fittr is available in the App Store — you’ll get a free 5-day trial, but you’ll have to pay $11.99 for the full version of the app.
Fittr raised an undisclosed seed round of funding in August from nonprofit Tampa Bay WaVE.
