Claire Coder's entrepreneurial journey started when she was 16 and sold homemade buttons on Etsy, eventually becoming a top seller on the ecommerce platform.
Within two years, while still in high school, she grew the business to employ eight independent distributors and sell in boutiques across the midwest.
Today, Coder, 24, is the founder and CEO of Aunt Flow, a gender-inclusive company that supplies 100% organic cotton tampons, pads, display boxes, and sanitary products to over 500 businesses and schools.
