Business Growth Expert & Serial Entrepreneur; Founder of Nasty Gal & Girlboss; New York Times Bestselling Author
Sophia Amoruso Biography
Sophia Amoruso is a serial entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, and venture capitalist known for her unconventional path from eBay seller to business leader in the fashion and technology industries. Amoruso founded Nasty Gal as an eBay store at age 22, managing all aspects of the business, including styling, photography, product descriptions, and shipping. She grew Nasty Gal to a profitable $28 million run rate before raising $60 million from venture capital firms and scaling the company to over $100 million in revenue. Nasty Gal was recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing companies.
Amoruso authored the memoir "#GIRLBOSS," which spent 18 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List, sold 500,000 copies, and was adapted into a Netflix series produced by Charlize Theron. She has been featured on the cover of Forbes Magazine's America's Richest Self-Made Women issue and has appeared on the covers of Inc., Entrepreneur, Success, and Money magazines. Amoruso has also been named to the Fortune 40 Under 40 and Forbes 30 Under 30 lists. Her second book, "Nasty Galaxy," further established her as a business authority and cultural influencer.
After the sale of Nasty Gal, Amoruso founded Girlboss, a community for women in business, and hosted the podcast "Girlboss Radio," which reached over 20 million downloads. She later launched Business Class, a digital course and membership platform for entrepreneurs, creatives, and freelancers, building a global community of more than 3,500 founders. The platform reflects Amoruso's focus on entrepreneurship education and supporting emerging business leaders.
Amoruso is the founder and managing partner at Trust Fund, an early-stage venture capital fund investing in tech-enabled products that support business creation and growth. Before launching Trust Fund, she was an active angel investor, deploying over $1 million in personal capital into more than 20 companies, including Liquid Death, Eight Sleep, Kindbody, Pipe, and Public.com. Trust Fund's investors include prominent figures in the technology and business sectors. Amoruso's experience spans e-commerce, venture capital, business education, and community building, making her a recognized voice on entrepreneurship, business growth, and startup leadership.
