Million Dollar Women

Julia Pimsleur draws on real experience building a multimillion-dollar company to give women entrepreneurs a grounded look at fundraising, scaling, and stepping into bigger ambitions. Eight case studies make the lessons feel concrete, and Simon & Schuster's backing signals this is a serious book rather than a self-published hustle guide. It's most useful if you're thinking about outside investment — if you're bootstrapping, some chapters won't land as hard.
