I dream of a not-so-distant future in which every woman can wake up, decide what she'll wear from the millions of styles in her digital dream closet, and have her outfit magically delivered to her before she finishes her coffee.

If I am looking to impress people, I'll be in a Rent the Runway dress and great accessories.

Building followership and inspiration around female leadership is quite difficult to do.

Because entrepreneurship is so hard and does take so long to build something great, you do have to build an environment that you yourself as an entrepreneur want to work in for the next 20 years.

As a leader, you have to have a vision that inspires people around you.

If your work isn't mission-driven or emotionally resonant to you, it will be very hard to maintain passion and focus over a long period of time, which is critical in entrepreneurship.

In the morning at home, I'm not functioning as an entrepreneur - I completely limit technology and any work-think - I'm functioning as a mom and a wife.

We are helping women express themselves and feel awesome about themselves, and I think that does change the course of your day.

Real-time feedback and coaching promotes learning. When feedback is connected to compensation, feedback is muted, distorted, and given less frequently.

Startups, by their nature, are entrepreneurial - testing new things, launching new products, and disrupting themselves. That's why you join a startup in the first place - to create, to stretch beyond your current capabilities, and to make an outsized impact.

I've found that entrepreneurship only gets harder every year, and as your team gets bigger, the stakes get higher.

I'm constantly running to meetings outside of the office, and I think that you can't go wrong with a great pair of Lanvin pumps.

I studied social studies at Harvard, which makes it sound like I was in seventh grade. It was a choose-your-own-adventure major, where you could decide what you were going to focus on.

I think a lot of people might've and probably did have the idea of renting clothes before me. I was the only one who was crazy enough to attempt it.

All early entrepreneurs fall prey to the same problem, which is everyone believes that if you are super intense in the beginning, work long hours, that you can create something quickly and that entrepreneurship is almost something that happens overnight.

We learn about MLK's 'I Have a Dream' speech. Take that same speech and put it in the voice of a woman. Would it be as inspirational? Would it have as much gravitas to it?

As women and men, we're not primed and taught to feel that women are as inspirational as men.

I'm an auditory learner, and if you put something into a song, I'll remember it forever.

As a female founder and CEO, it is important to me to support other women as they build their businesses.

When we launched, we had to figure out every problem - big or small - on our own.

My contribution to Rent the Runway as the CEO is higher than the contribution of someone on my warehouse team, but my pregnancy is not any more important than the pregnancy of any single person who works at my company.

Be brave and take accountability for your thoughts and beliefs.

I've always loved artists - creative, spontaneous, laid-back people - but I wasn't meeting these types in real life. So I figured that, given I run a technology company, I should also trust technology to help me find the love of my life.

People should think about their closets like they think about a stock portfolio. There are things you want to invest in; you make those investments, and those are your blue chips. So you should invest in a great pair of jeans, in a great cashmere sweater.

Founders are often great storytellers because they're in the business of constantly selling a dream against all odds.

If you're passionate about something, go for it, because people are great at what they love and when they're the happiest.

The most important thing to Ben and me was starting a family, so as soon as we got engaged, we booked Gurney's in Montauk - which is just a few miles down the beach from our summer home - as our wedding venue a full year and a half out, and then we immediately started trying to get pregnant.

When choosing vendors for my wedding, I intentionally searched for women who were at the beginning of their own founder journeys.

I had this thesis that we had entered the experience economy. People were getting married later and starting to value experiences like travel over owning things.

As a little kid, I would watch Oprah almost every day.

I'm bad at hiding my emotions.

It's amazing how much misinformation there is about pregnancy and how many myths are still ingrained into our culture.

Our company wouldn't exist and wouldn't be around without our warehouse employees and our call center employees. And these employees - not just at Rent the Runway but at tens of thousands of other companies throughout the country - are treated unequally.

I think about people like Jeff Bezos or Reed Hastings, and I really marvel at the stamina they've had to keep on trucking no matter what happens.

I was sexually harassed while building Rent the Runway - propositioned, sent sexual text messages, harassed and threatened in person.

There are a lot of subtle things that are harder to stamp out of a culture in terms of male entrepreneurs being mentored more than female entrepreneurs... male entrepreneurs getting several strikes against them before they're kind of let go, whereas female entrepreneurs, it's kind of one strike and you're out.

In many cases, women are being harassed by people who are on their board or who are associated with one of their venture capitalists.

Fashion should be a daily convenience, not a daily chore.

I sleep around 8 hours, but I tend to wake up several times a night with constant dreams, thoughts, and ideas related to Rent the Runway.

When you buy something for $9.99, and you know that it'll fall apart after you wear it once... you're going into the shopping experience knowing that you're renting. So all I'm doing is making the rental process more efficient.

We're in the '100 percent return' business. This is driving millions of new customers into brands; most of our customers are wearing brands they've never tried before.

Around the year 2000, businesses around the country went 'business casual.'

What's interesting about the transportation market is that you're often dabbling in multiple categories. The same person who might own a car is still using Uber, is still using a taxi, still might go to Avis on a business trip and rent a car.

I can grow as a leader only if I'm willing to accept feedback.

Even though she's my younger sister, Becky's definitely a role model in my life. She's the most genuinely positive person I've ever met.

I try to work with people the way they prefer.

Our goal is to teach young women who were brought up on H&M and Forever 21 that designer clothes are expensive for a reason. They're works of art.

At Rent the Runway, we rent designer clothes. We have a belief set that half of the closet over time is going to move into the cloud, and a portion of what we wear every single day will be comprised of things that we don't own forever.

All that Rent the Runway has really done is we've opened up the technology and logistics to make it possible to have the customer decide how long she needs an article of clothing for.

I have no desire to sell Rent the Runway. I have a 50-year vision for Rent the Runway, at least, to change consumer behavior and actually put the closet in the cloud.
