39 of the coolest startups founded by women
BY: Maya Kosoff
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.
Luzme solves e-book woes by letting you sign up for the books you want from the stores you want, and then emailing you when the price drops on books you want. Luzme hasn’t raised any funding money yet.

Founded by Gillian Morris and built by her startup TripCommon, Hitlist competes against apps like Kayak and HotelTonight.
