We started getting some folks from our community and friends that wanted to be involved beyond just being users, right? And offered their help on different fronts. So nobody worked full time job, but we started getting very passionate interested friends and people around us. It a wanted, am to help us. A lot of it was done nights and week ends.

When Adi Tartako and her husband started the home design and renovation website Houzz in 2009, they had no expectation that it would grow into a global business.

But as Houzz morphed into a go-to site for users to get ideas for home improvement and connect with industry professionals, Adi decided to go all-in. She walked away from a promising career in finance to become the CEO of Houzz, helping lead it to a platform that now has 65 million users worldwide.
