Serial entrepreneur Sharon Kan was fortunate to have the support of numerous mentors and champions that helped her to climb the ladder towards career success. However, she was keenly aware that not all women have that kind of support, and she wanted to change that dynamic. Through her entrepreneurial ventures at Tikatok, Babson College, and most recently Pepperlane, Kan has been able to achieve those dreams. Together, they launched Tikatok, a web-based platform where kids can write, illustrate and publish their own stories from start to finish. So well in fact that, after 22 months, Kan received an offer from Barnes & Noble to acquire the company, giving Tikatok access to over 17 million users.
