Daria Rebenok    

Co-Founder & CEO of Grabr

Growing up in Russia, Daria Rebenok often returned from trips abroad with suitcases full of hard-to-get gifts, like Victoria's Secret bras or new Apple gadgets. That experience inspired Rebenok, along with husband, Artem Fedyaev, to launch Grabr in 2015, which combines the gig economy and global trade. It works like this: Say, a Russian is craving a bottle of American BBQ sauce. The Muscovite uses Grabr to find someone in the States who'll pick up a bottle before a trip to the Kremlin; the American gets paid--compensation starts around $10 per item and goes up--when the sauce is delivered.

Grabr, which has raised more than $14 million from investors like Foundation Capital, has signed up 900,000 travelers and shoppers so far. And Rebenok has personally delivered nearly 200 items to people around the world--everything from colored pencils to a Nikon camera. Her favorite experience? Bringing toys to kids: "You feel like a Santa."
