I’ve been reading about Whitney Wolfe, Tech CEO of Bumble and thought her background was really interesting. She majored in International Studies and her first business was selling celebrity endorsed handbags...then she went on to cofound 2 very successful tech companies . Crazy but amazing!
Do you guys know of any other examples of successful tech founders/ceo with unconventional backgrounds? Would love to read about the different ways people have found success.

But she made something of it so good for her.
Bumble is largely hers though.
The co-founder situation wasn't as cut and dry. Tinder told her she wasn't, she sued them back. All in a day's work in the Bay.
