Polina Raygorodskaya graces Inc. Magazine’s October 2017 cover just weeks after Wanderu officially declared profitability.
BOSTON, MA (September 20, 2017) – Polina Raygorodskaya, co-founder and CEO of Wanderu, the leading bus and train travel search platform in North America and Europe, has been featured on the cover of Inc. Magazine’s October 2017 issue as part of the publication’s annual roundup of the world’s most innovative women.
The issue is set to hit the newsstands on September 26. A digital version of the profile on Polina Raygorodskaya is
currently available on the magazine’s website.
“It’s an incredible honor to not only be on the cover but, more importantly, to be featured among so many distinguished female entrepreneurs,” said Raygorodskaya. “As a female running a business in a male-dominated field, I’m hoping that this will demonstrate to young women around the world that they can become innovators on their own merit and inspire them to pursue a career in entrepreneurship.”
Joining Raygorodskaya on the list of most innovative women are a number of trailblazing female executives, including BlackLine’s Therese Tucker, Bumble’s Whitney Wolfe, Sweeten’s Jean Brownhill, and Vida Health’s Stephanie Tilenius, among other esteemed honorees.
In addition to the feature, Raygorodskaya is scheduled to appear at the Inc. Women’s Summit event on September 25 in New York, NY. The Wanderu co-founder and CEO will participate in a discussion panel on what it takes to create and grow a successful business venture. More information about the event is available
here.
Raygorodskaya’s honor comes on the heels of a year of milestones for Wanderu. After launching the service in Europe, allowing travelers to compare and book bus and train travel options to more than 10,000 destinations across the Old Continent, Wanderu became one of few tech startups to declare profitability within less than five years of existence.
