These high school sweethearts launched ModCloth the summer before they started at Carnegie-Mellon University in 2002, selling vintage clothing Susan had picked up in thrift stores. The online retailer now offers vintage, vintage-inspired and independent label fashions, as well as home decor items like lighting, rugs and laptop sleeves. It has also democratized its wares through crowdsourcing product selection and design competitions. In May it completed a $25 million round of funding, bringing its venture funding total to $44.8 million.
