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.

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

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

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.

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.

Be brave and take accountability for your thoughts and beliefs.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
