Just by looking around, it’s easy to see that women are underrepresented in the world of tech startups—and as founders of those startups, even more so. But according to TechCrunch, these numbers are on the upswing: in 2014, 18% of startups had at least one woman founder, up from a dismal 9.5% in 2009. We’ve collected a list of innovative startups with female founders, which, even if you’ve heard of the companies before, may surprise you.

The test was named Invention of the Year in 2008 by Time.

Polyvore

Polyvore cofounder and CEO Jess Lee got her start as a product manager at Google, but soon transferred those skills to creating Polyvore’s democratic, personalized style community.
