Young Entrepreneur: Danae Ringelmann
Just out of college, independent film enthusiast Danae (Da-NAY) Ringelmann was working as a financial analyst with J.P. Morgan when she attended a Hollywood-meets-Wall Street event. Sporting her company badge, she instantly became the most popular guest at the party. “People thought I was there to finance films. I remember clearly an accomplished 70-year-old filmmaker who was begging me for money,” Ringelmann said. “I thought, ‘This is wrong. There’s got to be a better way.’”
