This is probably the dream of every emerging entrepreneur – create a start-up and have it acquired by a major company. In 2010, Divya Gugnani, Mariah Chase and ‘Project Runway’ winner Christian Siriano launched Send the Trend, an innovative fashion e-commerce site, raising $ 3 million in venture capital – and then they just worked at nurturing it and creating a unique company.
QVC, the giant home shopping network, obviously liked what it saw because it has acquired Send the Trend for an undisclosed amount.
