Anda Gansca
We love a woman who's strong, opinionated, and has lush locks to boot! And that's why we're applauding Anda Gansca, a rebellious high schooler-turned Stanford grad-turned social media revolutionizer. After launching loads of initiatives to reform the educational system in her native Romania growing up, Anda took her fire to entrepreneur-breeding ground, Stanford University, where she got her chops as a data analyst. In 2012, she launched
Knotch, an app where users can express their opinion across the entire color spectrum—not just with a thumbs up. Since then, Knotch has allowed reviews to become more nuanced and accurate, aiding in users' decisions and helping to improve new products.
