Kristy Chong ended up revolutionising personal care products for women all over the world after the birth of her second child.

The company she founded, ModiBodi, forged a new category, creating underwear that can handle life’s leaks. It became so successful, it was snapped up by Sweden’s Essity for $140 million last year. Chong is now using some of her proceeds to provide early-stage funding to companies started by women.
